UnitedHealth hid its Change Healthcare data breach notice for months
TechCrunch reports that Change Healthcare, which experienced a debilitating ransomware attack last February, has hidden its data breach notice webpage from search engines.
Memorial Healthcare System (FL) will pay $60,000 to settle allegations that it violated HIPAA by taking nine months to provide a patient with access to his medical records.
The UHC hiding the breach notice page is one thing but it looks like Nebraska is suing Change Healthcare for what amounts to pure incompetence for an organization that holds HIPAA data. If the Nebraska AG is right, they got in through a support reps username and password, then had access to the entire system, being able to transit between servers without any change in user credentials or multi factor authentication.
