Ransomware infection cuts off blood supply to 250+ hospitals

A ransomware attack against blood-donation nonprofit OneBlood has significantly reduced its ability to collect, test, and distribute blood to more than 250 hospitals across Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, forcing manual processes and activating hospital critical blood shortage protocols; the organization requests urgent donations of O positive, O negative, and platelets and is working with cybersecurity specialists and government agencies while the actor, ransom demands, and any data theft remain unconfirmed, with some similarities noted to prior Qilin ransomware incidents.
