A cyberattack on Change Healthcare, a unit of UnitedHealth, has disrupted prescription processing for tens of thousands of pharmacies across the US, leaving patients to pay out of pocket or risk going without critical medication. The attack has affected multiple states, including military pharmacies, and big university health systems.

The responsible party for the hack remains unclear.
