Change Healthcare’s Double Ransomware Nightmare: Cybercriminals Demand More After $22M Payout

In a plot twist worthy of a cyber-soap opera, Change Healthcare’s ransomware saga turns comical as RansomHub, the new digital desperado, jumps in demanding more dough. They’re not your average baddie though—they pinky promise to ditch the data post-payment. Who said crime doesn’t pay… twice?

Hot Take:

When it rains, it pours, and for Change Healthcare, it's a torrential downpour of ransomware woes. Just when they thought they could cry themselves a river with a $22 million peace offering, another band of digital pirates surfaces, ready to auction off their booty of sensitive data to the highest bidder. AlphV may have taken the money and run, leaving RansomHub to play double jeopardy. In the wild world of ransomware, it's less about honor among thieves and more about who gets the last laugh while holding the encryption key.
