Following a cyberattack on Change Healthcare, a major insurance claims system, last month, UnitedHealth Group has advanced over $3.3 billion to affected care providers. The attack has sparked a significant response, including a $10 million offer from the U.S. government to aid in catching the Change Healthcare hackers. The incident has highlighted the increasing targeting of the healthcare sector by cybercriminals, prompting discussions on the need for stricter cybersecurity measures in healthcare, similar to the @SECGov's breach disclosure rules. Industry experts, noting that hospitals and insurers are at odds, and federal regulators, who were caught off guard, are now considering new rules and legislation, including Payment Flexibilities, to prevent future attacks. This emphasizes the vulnerability of third-party vendors and the critical nature of healthcare technology infrastructure, with Washington cracking down on the technology running behind the scenes in health care.
