"Healthcare Giant UnitedHealth Group's Recovery Progress and Concerns Post-Cyberattack"

UnitedHealth Group is recovering from a major cyberattack by the hacking group ALPHV, impacting its subsidiary Change Healthcare, which processes billions of healthcare transactions annually. The attack targeted pharmacy, medical claims, and payment systems, affecting patient care and hospital operations. The company is making progress in restoring services, with electronic payments and pharmacy network services mostly restored. The Department of Health and Human Services is investigating the breach, and the American Hospital Association called it the most significant cyberattack on the U.S. healthcare system. UnitedHealth Group has paid over $2 billion to assist affected healthcare providers, and the FBI disrupted some of BlackCat's operations in December 2023.
