Personal Information Was Breached in Change Healthcare Cyberattack
4/30/2024
On April 22, 2024, UnitedHealth Group issued a press release announcing that:
“Based on initial targeted data sampling to date, the company has found files containing protected health information (PHI) or personally identifiable information (PII), which could cover a substantial proportion of people in America. To date, the company has not seen evidence of exfiltration of materials such as doctors’ charts or full medical histories among the data.” Although UnitedHealth states that “Change Healthcare has made continued strong progress restoring services impacted by the event,” the far-reaching consequences of the event are still unfolding. The company set up a dedicated support website to provide support for people concerned about their personal data due to the attack, as well as a call center hotline number, 1-866-262-5342.
