NY Blood Center Attack Disrupts Suppliers in Several States

A ransomware attack on New York Blood Center Enterprises (NYBCe) is disrupting blood supply centers in several states, including New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Rhode Island, Nebraska, and Missouri. The attack, which occurred just days after NYBCe declared a regional blood shortage emergency, highlights the vulnerability of blood supply chains to cyber threats. Experts advise healthcare systems to develop contingency plans, implement strong cybersecurity measures, and share information about attacks to prevent future disruptions.
