Medical Device Maker, Artivion, Hit in Ransomware Attack
Medical device manufacturer, Artivion, Inc. suffered a ransomware attack late last month that forced the company to take systems offline and disrupted orders and shipments.
Company officials identified and began taking measures to address a cybersecurity incident on November 21, 2024, the company said in an 8-K report to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
“Artivion’s response measures included taking certain systems offline, initiating an investigation, and engaging external advisors, including legal, cybersecurity, and forensics professionals to assess, contain, and remediate the incident.
“The incident involved the acquisition and encryption of files. The Company is working to securely restore its systems as quickly as possible and to evaluate any notification obligations,” the company said in its filing.
