US health tech giant Change Healthcare hit by cyberattack


A cyberattack is ongoing at Change Healthcare, a health tech giant that claims its technology touches one-in-three U.S. patient records.

“Once we became aware of the outside threat, in the interest of protecting our partners and patients, we took immediate action to disconnect our systems to prevent further impact,” Change Healthcare wrote on its status page. Most of the login pages for Change Healthcare are inaccessible or offline when TechCrunch checked at the time of writing. The tech giant boasts on its website that it handles 15 billion healthcare transactions annually, and that one-in-three U.S. patient records are “touched by our clinical connectivity solutions.”
