Blood Donations Canceled As Hackers Target New York Blood Center

A recent cyber attack has targeted the New York Blood Center, a vital organization that supplies blood to over 200 hospitals in the United States. The attack, carried out by ransomware attackers, has disrupted donations and impacted the processing times of blood donations.

The New York Blood Center, established in 1964, has been dedicated to serving the community by providing blood and related products to patients in need. Despite its noble mission, the center fell victim to cybercriminals who targeted its IT systems on January 26. As a result, some systems were taken offline, and the center is currently working with third-party experts to restore its systems as quickly and safely as possible.

While the New York Blood Center continues to accept blood donations, the processing times have been affected, leading to the cancellation of blood donor appointments. The center has acknowledged the disruption caused by the attack and stated that donation center activities and blood drives may need to be rescheduled. Donors will be notified promptly if any appointments need to be rescheduled.

Security experts have responded to the ransomware attack, emphasizing the devastating impact it has on the healthcare sector. Dr. Darren Williams, CEO at BlackFog, highlighted the risks posed by such attacks, especially when lives depend on timely blood transfusions. Roei Sherman, the field chief technology officer at Mitiga, urged organizations across sectors, particularly those in critical services like healthcare, to enhance their defenses against cyber threats.

As ransomware attacks continue to target essential services like healthcare, it is crucial for organizations to prioritize cybersecurity measures to protect both data and human lives. The incident at the New York Blood Center serves as a stark reminder of the increasing threat posed by cybercriminals, and the urgent need for stronger anti-data exfiltration measures in the healthcare sector.

In light of these developments, it is imperative for healthcare organizations to remain vigilant and proactive in safeguarding their systems against cyber attacks. By investing in robust cybersecurity measures, organizations can mitigate the risk of future attacks and ensure the safety and security of their patients and data.
