Summary
UnitedHealth aims to fully restore Change Healthcare post-ransomware by mid-March, impacting U.S. healthcare operations since a February cyberattack. Systems like electronic prescribing have resumed, with full payment services expected by March 15. UnitedHealth, undeterred by further system threats, introduces financial aid for affected healthcare providers, with the program expanding to meet broader needs without immediate repayment. Change Healthcare identified Blackcat ransomware as the attack source, posing significant risks to patient safety and data security.
