/ 1 min read
🩸 OneBlood confirms personal data breach following ransomware attack. The not-for-profit blood supplier OneBlood has revealed that a ransomware attack last summer resulted in the theft of donors’ personal information, including names and Social Security numbers. The breach, which occurred between July 14 and July 29, 2024, forced OneBlood to revert to manual processes, causing significant delays in blood collection and distribution. In response, the organization issued urgent calls for donations and has begun notifying affected individuals, offering a year of free credit monitoring to mitigate identity theft risks. Although the full extent of the breach remains undisclosed, the delay in notification has raised concerns about the ongoing risk to those impacted.
