Ransomware attack hits Florida blood donation center that services more than 350 hospitals

A cyberattack on the nonprofit blood donation center OneBlood is stifling operations at an organization that normally services more than 350 hospitals across four states, the organization announced on Wednesday.
Pulled Health-ISAC quote from CBS News:
Errol Weiss, chief security officer at the Health Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Health-ISAC), told CBS News on Wednesday that OneBlood told the Florida Hospital Association that it doesn’t have a timeline for restoring digital operations in the wake of the hack, which may have started to affect the organization’s software system as far back as Sunday. By Tuesday, the system outage was already interrupting blood product shipments from OneBlood to its partners in Florida, Weiss said. At the time, the association said OneBlood had begun to manually label blood donations and had a plan in place to expedite that process, according to Weiss.
