Lack of transparency 'handcuffed' feds' Change hack response, lawmaker says

Lawmakers, led by Rep. Jamie Raskin, are raising concerns over UnitedHealth Group's lack of transparency following a ransomware attack on its subsidiary, Change Healthcare, which disrupted systems for nearly a month. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) reported being "handcuffed" due to insufficient information from UnitedHealth Group, which hindered federal response efforts. Raskin has requested detailed information on the hack's impact and UnitedHealth Group’s response. Meanwhile, UnitedHealth Group is focusing on system restoration and data protection. The incident has prompted a federal investigation and increased scrutiny from both the House Oversight Committee and the Senate Finance Committee.
