Orlando-based non-profit OneBlood has resumed normal blood distribution to over 250 hospitals in Florida after restoring its critical software system following a ransomware attack that disrupted operations in late July.

Orlando-based non-profit blood center OneBlood on Thursday announced the resumption of normal blood distribution to hospitals across Florida following a ransomware attack that disrupted its operations late last month.

OneBlood, which serves more than 250 hospitals in Florida, also confirmed that its software system, responsible for managing the blood supply, has been fully restored.

“The priority has been to bring the critical software system used to manage the blood supply back online and this has been accomplished. OneBlood is processing and distributing blood products to the more than 250 hospitals we serve at a normal output,” said Susan Forbes, OneBlood senior vice president of corporate communications and public relations.

The organization became the target of a ransomware attack on July 29, which threatened to destabilize its ability to collect, test, process, and distribute blood products. The cyberattack forced OneBlood to switch to manual operations, significantly slowing its processes. As a result, it operated at reduced capacity and asked the more than 250 hospitals it serves to activate their critical blood shortage protocols.

With the blood supply stabilized, OneBlood additionally stated that it informed the AABB Task Force that supplemental shipments of blood and platelets to OneBlood are no longer needed.
