"Escalating Cybersecurity Crisis: Change Healthcare's Ongoing Ransomware Nightmare"

Change Healthcare is facing a new cybersecurity nightmare as a ransomware group claims to be selling sensitive medical and financial records stolen from the company, including data on active-duty US military personnel. The stolen data allegedly includes medical and dental records, payment claims, insurance details, and personal information like Social Security numbers and email addresses. RansomHub, the ransomware gang, is pressuring individual insurance companies to pay ransoms to prevent the sale of their records. Change Healthcare appears to have paid a $22 million ransom to stop the leaking of stolen data, and the company has faced mounting losses and increasing pressure from lawmakers and regulators to explain its cybersecurity lapse.
