UnitedHealth’s Ransomware Rollercoaster: Data Breach Drama Hits Hard

In a twist of digital irony, UnitedHealth’s ransomware woes turned into a hackers’ squabble, leaving the healthcare behemoth $22 million poorer and data still in the wind. Cue free credit monitoring as a band-aid for your bleeding PHI and PII.

Hot Take:

UnitedHealth Group's subsidiary, Change Healthcare, got a double dose of cyber shenanigans with a ransomware cocktail that's left them—and potentially a chunk of America—reaching for the antacids. They've paid a hefty $22 million crypto-ransom to a cyber-gang that ghosted them faster than a bad Tinder date, leaving them data-less and setting up a hotline and credit monitoring like a digital neighborhood watch. It's a cyber-soap opera with more twists than a pretzel factory, and we're all grabbing the popcorn!
