UnitedHealth estimates 190M people impacted by Change Healthcare cyberattack

Posted on January 25, 2025 by Dissent

Paige Minemyer reports:

Change Healthcare now estimates that 190 million people were impacted in the massive cyberattack that took down its services nearly a year ago.

UnitedHealth Group, Change’s parent company, said in a statement to Fierce Healthcare that the “vast majority” of people impacted have received an individual or substitute notice about the breach. The healthcare giant said that the number will be confirmed and filed with the Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights (OCR) “at a later date.”

“Change Healthcare is not aware of any misuse of individuals’ information as a result of this incident and has not seen electronic medical record databases appear in the data during the analysis,” according to the statement.
