Major Blood Center Discloses Breach

By Kim S. Nash

 

Hello. Nine months after a ransomware attack, New York Blood Center Enterprises is telling donors that some combination of their personal data, financial account information and limited clinical details were compromised.

New York Blood Center, whose eight locations make it a major provider of blood and blood products in the Northeast, has filed notifications in at least five states this month. It hasn’t disclosed the total number of people whose private data was breached.

Hackers broke into its network between Jan. 20 and Jan. 26, the blood center told state regulators, adding that it finished its review of exposed files in late August and began sending letters to those affected Sept. 5.
