"Rising Concerns Over Cyberattacks Disrupting Healthcare Services"

A cyberattack on Change Healthcare, a unit of UnitedHealth, has disrupted prescription processing for tens of thousands of pharmacies across the US, leaving patients to pay out of pocket or risk going without critical medication. The attack has affected multiple states, including military pharmacies, and big university health systems. The FBI, US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and the Department of Health and Human Services are working to assess the impact on patient care, while the recovery process for Change Healthcare is expected to be lengthy and burdensome. The responsible party for the hack remains unclear.
