UnitedHealth says Blackcat is the reason healthcare providers are going unpaid

Health insurance provider UnitedHealth has identified the Blackcat hacker group as responsible for a cyber attack that caused a nationwide disruption in healthcare services. The attack targeted UnitedHealth's Change Healthcare system, causing a week-long outage and disrupting payments for hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies. Blackcat, also known as ALPHV, has previously claimed credit for numerous high-profile hacks. The US government has offered a $15 million reward for information on the group's location. In a deleted message, Blackcat claimed to have stolen millions of patient records, including sensitive medical and insurance data. The breach could have a significant impact on healthcare services in the US.
