UnitedHealth CEO to Testify on $1.5B Losses from Change Healthcare Cyberattack
Apr 22, 2024, 03:17 PM
UnitedHealth Group has incurred significant financial and operational impacts from a ransomware attack on its subsidiary, Change Healthcare. The attack, which occurred in February, has led to a direct financial impact of approximately $872 million in the first quarter alone, with projections indicating that the total cost could surpass $1.5 billion for the full year. The breach, which crippled parts of the U.S. health care system, involved sensitive health information and resulted in disruptions to healthcare payments. UnitedHealth's CEO, Andrew Witty, is scheduled to testify before a U.S. House subcommittee on May 1 regarding the cyberattack. Meanwhile, House lawmakers have criticized the company for its handling of the security breach, and a ransomware group has demanded more money following the hack.
