On Sunday, January 26, New York Blood Center Enterprises (NYBCe) detected suspicious activity on their IT systems; third-party investigators confirmed the incident was ransomware. NYBCe provides blood products to more than 400 healthcare organizations across 17 US states. The attack has caused the organization to postpone blood donor appointments and blood drive events. Over the past year, ransomware attacks have disrupted operations at several other blood donation and pathology organizations, including blood plasma provider Octapharma in April 2024, NHS pathology service Synnovis and South Africa’s National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS) in June 2024, and blood donation non-profit OneBlood in July 2024.
