Cyber Heist Fallout: Change Healthcare Coughs Up $22M Ransom Amid Patient Data Panic
Feeling a bit sick? Change Healthcare’s ransomware saga might just be the cure for boredom. They’ve confirmed coughing up a hefty ransom, but their data’s still on the operating table. It’s a cyber-sneeze felt across the healthcare system! #RansomwareRuckus
Hot Take:
Well, it seems Change Healthcare took the old "throw money at the problem" adage a bit too literally, shelling out a cool $22 million in Bitcoin to cybercriminals like it was going out of style. Unfortunately, their hefty ransom payment to the AlphV hackers might just be the healthcare horror story that keeps on giving, as it turns out their data could still get the grand tour of the dark web. It's like paying for a five-star vacation and ending up stuck in a dingy motel with bedbugs.
