"Pharmacies Struggle Amid Ongoing Cyberattack Outage Blamed on Nation-State"

A ransomware attack, attributed to the BlackCat group, has caused widespread outages at U.S. hospitals and pharmacies by targeting Change Healthcare, a major healthcare tech giant handling prescription processing for over 67,000 pharmacies. The attack, which began on February 21, has disrupted prescription fulfillment and processing, prompting warnings from organizations like the American Hospital Association to disconnect from affected systems. The incident has also impacted Tricare, the U.S. military's health insurance provider, and is linked to previous cyberattacks on companies like Norton and Reddit.
