"Healthcare Cyberattack Disrupts Nationwide Pharmacy Services"

UnitedHealth Group's subsidiary Change Healthcare was compromised by suspected nation state hackers, causing a cybersecurity incident that has led to ongoing outages affecting the U.S. healthcare system. The company, which processes billions of healthcare transactions annually and handles around one-in-three U.S. patient records, has not disclosed the specific nature of the cyberattack. Pharmacies across the U.S. are unable to fulfill prescriptions through patients' insurance due to the outage, and UHG has retained security experts and is working with law enforcement to address the situation.
