In February, Change Healthcare faced a cyberattack that forced it to pay a $22 million ransom, with data from about 100 million Americans compromised.
The cyberattack, noted as the largest healthcare data breach ever, involved compromised credentials and highlighted the absence of multi-factor authentication on Change's portals.
UHG CEO Andrew Witty testified that the breach disrupted healthcare operations, impacting patients' access to prescriptions and causing billing delays for weeks.
Statistics reveal a troubling trend in the U.S.: a 72% increase in data breaches from 2021 to 2023, indicating a growing cybersecurity issue.
