Another significant data breach looms for United Healthcare (UHC), involving patient documents belonging to its Optum financial assistance program and its subsidiary Change Healthcare.

In recent hours, the ransomware group Medusa has claimed on its website, within Tor networks, the cyberattack on the servers of Northeast Ohio Neighborhood Health (NEON), a company providing healthcare services headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, and the exfiltration of nearly 51GB of data. Many of these documents refer to PHI and PII of patients associated with health insurance contracts with the United Healthcare Group.

Rumint is that the Change Healthcare was Chinese espionage that was caught and they overreacted and turned off all systems thinking ransomware was going to be deployed.

This fits with Chinese targeting of healthcare and pharmacies in the past. My assessment is that it could also be Russian long term staging or espionage as they are also known to target healthcare and pharmacies.
