Change Healthcare’s Seventh Day Outage

February 29, 2024
Reading Time: 2 mins read
in Incidents

Change Healthcare, a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group, is experiencing extensive system downtime following a suspected nation-state cyberattack that breached its network. This attack has resulted in the seventh consecutive day of disruption, impacting the operations of pharmacies and health systems across the United States. Despite efforts to mitigate the impact, such as the setup of electronic workarounds by most U.S. pharmacies, the incident underscores the growing threat of cybercrime in the healthcare sector and highlights the need for robust cybersecurity measures.

UnitedHealth Group swiftly responded to the cyber threat upon detection, isolating and disconnecting the affected systems to contain the breach. While the exact nature of the attack remains undisclosed, UnitedHealth has reassured that entities such as Optum, UnitedHealthcare, and UnitedHealth Group’s systems were not compromised. The company has collaborated with external partners like Palo Alto Networks and Google Cloud’s Mandiant to assess the breach and minimize its repercussions.

The disruption caused by the cyberattack has led to a ripple effect across the U.S. healthcare system, affecting business operations and prescription processing for entities like CVS Health and Walgreens. Patients, such as Cary Brazeman, have encountered challenges in accessing medications due to disruptions in insurance claims processing. This incident underscores the critical importance of cybersecurity readiness and response capabilities to safeguard sensitive healthcare data and ensure uninterrupted patient care delivery.
