“Increasingly, we see that these attacks not only affect organizations’ ability to access their patients’ health data, but also the organizations’ ability to provide safe care to patients,” she told the publication.

The article discusses supply chain issues that followed a ransomware attack on a Florida-based blood center and Hurricane Debby making landfall on Monday.
