The New York Blood Center faced a ransomware attack on Sunday, forcing the healthcare organization to reschedule appointments.
NYBC and its operating divisions provide transfusion-related medical services and supply blood to approximately 200 hospitals in the Northeast United States.
The ransomware attack was discovered on January 29, and the organization immediately took steps to mitigate and contain the attack.
NYBC is working with cybersecurity experts to restore the impacted systems and there is no set timeline for system restoration.
