UnitedHealth hack could take months for full recovery

UnitedHealth Group, the largest health insurer in the United States, is expected to take several months to recover from a cyberattack that targeted its Change Healthcare unit. The breach, carried out by a hacking group called ALPHV, has caused significant disruption to UnitedHealth's operations and highlighted vulnerabilities in the healthcare sector's cybersecurity infrastructure. While UnitedHealth has not provided a recovery timeline, experts believe it could be quite far off, given the extent of the disruption. Similar breaches in other industries have taken months to fully recover from, with substantial financial losses incurred. ALPHV, known for its persistent and difficult negotiations, may cause further damage before being potentially disrupted by law enforcement.
