BREAKING: UnitedHealth has confirmed that a ransomware attack on its health tech subsidiary Change Healthcare earlier this year resulted in a huge theft of Americans’ private healthcare data.
In a statement, UHG said the criminal hackers stole files containing personal data and protected health information that it says may “cover a substantial proportion of people in America.”
UnitedHealth spokesperson confirmed in an email that a ransom was paid to the cybercriminals "as part of the company’s commitment to do all it could to protect patient data from disclosure.”
The company would not confirm the amount it paid. @brett reports that RansomHub has delisted Change Healthcare from its dark web leak site.
