Cybersecurity Blunder: UnitedHealth’s $22M Ransomware Nightmare Exposes Negligence

Stunned by Change Healthcare’s ransomware romp? Tom Kellermann deems it “egregious negligence,” as UnitedHealth’s lax security practices turn patient data into hacker payday. Remember folks, skimping on cybersecurity is like skipping leg day—you’re just asking to get kicked where it hurts. #EgregiousNegligence

Hot Take:

When the healthcare behemoth UnitedHealth got sucker-punched by cyber baddies, they paid a ransom hefty enough to make a pirate blush. But lo and behold, their cyber woes didn't vanish with the cash! Someone skipped Cybersecurity 101 and forgot to crank up the multi-factor authentication. Sounds like someone's going to need a prescription for better security practices, stat!
