OneBlood, Florida Suffers Ransomware Attack

OneBlood, a major nonprofit blood donation center headquartered in Orlando, Florida, is facing significant operational disruptions following a ransomware attack. The cyberattack, which was reported on July 31, 2024, has targeted OneBlood’s software systems, leading to encryption of essential files and demands for ransom. This breach is particularly concerning given that OneBlood serves more than 350 hospitals across Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas, playing a critical role in the region’s healthcare infrastructure.

The impact of the ransomware attack has been substantial, affecting OneBlood’s ability to process and distribute blood products efficiently. As a result, the organization is operating at a significantly reduced capacity. The attack has necessitated a shift to manual processes for managing and labeling blood donations, which is proving to be labor-intensive and time-consuming. This operational strain has led to a notable reduction in the amount of blood available for distribution, prompting OneBlood to activate emergency protocols to manage the situation.

In response to the breach, OneBlood is actively working with cybersecurity specialists and authorities at federal, state, and local levels to address the issue. The organization is conducting a thorough investigation to understand the full scope of the attack and to restore its digital systems as swiftly as possible. Despite these efforts, the interruption has already begun affecting the shipment of blood products to partner hospitals, with delays reported as early as Tuesday. To mitigate the impact, OneBlood is collaborating with other blood centers and a national disaster task force to secure additional blood supplies and ensure that hospitals continue to receive necessary products.

OneBlood is urgently calling on the public to contribute by donating blood. The organization has emphasized the need for O Positive, O Negative, and platelets, which are in particularly high demand. Eligible donors are encouraged to make appointments at OneBlood centers across the southeastern United States. By increasing donations, the public can help alleviate the critical shortage and support the ongoing efforts to stabilize the blood supply amid this challenging situation.
