The ramifications of a cyberattack on a critical health care technology company are still being felt across the U.S. nearly two weeks later.
Change Healthcare has acknowledged the hack, which reportedly affected billing and care authorization portals.
“Our experts are working to address the matter, and we are working closely with law enforcement and leading third-party consultants such as Mandiant and Palo Alto Networks on this attack against Change Healthcare’s systems,” Change Healthcare said.
“On Feb. 21, 2024, we discovered a threat actor gained access to one of our Change Healthcare environments,” Change Healthcare said.
A spokesperson affiliated with Change Healthcare declined to answer whether a ransom has been paid, according to Wired.
