"UnitedHealth Cyberattack Causes Prescription Drug Coverage Disruptions for Healthcare Providers"

A cyberattack on Change Healthcare, a unit of UnitedHealth, has disrupted insurance processing for pharmacies across the US, affecting health care professionals and potentially cutting into their revenue. The attack has led to billing outages, forcing some providers to manually bill and worry about losing office space. The fallout is estimated to cost health care providers over $100 million per day, prompting concerns from senior US officials. The ransomware gang responsible, known as ALPHV, has a history of targeting US institutions, and the attack has been described as a systemic attack on the entire health care sector.
