The largest healthcare payment system had a cyber attack 13 days ago and it is still ongoing. Hi, I'm Kaylin. I'm a cyber security and data protection expert and I want to help you stay up to date with all the cyber attacks. Let's go. The change healthcare cyber attack has forced medical practices to go without revenue for the 12th now 13th day in a row and it's reported that UnitedHealth actually paid the 22 million ransomware. Now, we've heard about cyber attacks in healthcare over the years, but this is the largest one because it attacks a key, key part of the pipeline, the payments.

There was an interruption of so many admin and billing processes. There was an inability to send claims. There's also an ability to verify eligibility to confirm insurance coverages. It was just a disaster. People weren't even able to get their meds for life threatening illnesses and diseases. It is 13 days later and United Healthcare is still not fully operational. It it was so bad that the HHS also says that they want to encourage all providers that.
