Cyber villains have struck again, and they’re going after the US health system. Pharmacies and hospitals nationwide are coping with a debilitating cyberattack against the prescription processor Change Healthcare, owned by America’s biggest health insurer, UnitedHealth.
The health tech company noticed the breach last week and rushed to disconnect its systems, throwing a wrench into pharmacies’ ability to dispense pills. Change Healthcare said some of its services were still on pause, and it’s unclear if any patient info was stolen.
