Ransomware Group Leaks Stolen Patient Information from Change Healthcare

Some of the files, which TechCrunch has seen, also contain contracts and agreements between Change Healthcare and its partners.
For Change Healthcare, there’s another complication: This is the second group to demand a ransom payment to prevent the release of stolen patient data in as many months.
UnitedHealth Group, the parent company of Change Healthcare, said there was no evidence of a new cyber incident.
What’s more likely is that a dispute between members and affiliates of the ransomware gang left the stolen data in limbo and Change Healthcare exposed to further extortion.
A Russia-based ransomware gang called ALPHV took credit for the Change Healthcare data theft.
