A recent cyberattack on UnitedHealth, described as the most serious in U.S. healthcare history, has had significant repercussions. UnitedHealth CEO Andrew Witty is expected to apologize for the February incident that severely impacted the U.S. healthcare system. The hackers were active in the network for nine days before executing a ransomware strike. This breach has forced healthcare providers to use personal savings to maintain operations. Additionally, the Change Healthcare attack resulted in data theft that likely included U.S. service members. The attack highlights the increased risks as more healthcare records move online, making the sector a prime target for ransomware attacks.
