Double Whammy: Change Healthcare Targeted Again by RansomHub...
Blog post from Socket
Change Healthcare, a major processor of U.S. medical claims, is under threat from the ransomware group RansomHub, which claims to possess over 4TB of sensitive data after a previous attack by ALPHV/Blackcat resulted in a $22 million scam. RansomHub, emerging in early 2024, threatens to sell this data, which includes records from high-profile clients like Medicare and CVS-CareMark, unless a ransom is paid. The attack has caused significant economic damage, contributing to the bankruptcy of nursing home operator Petersen Health Care and prompting the U.S. State Department to offer a $10 million bounty for information on ALPHV/Blackcat. RansomHub's operations resemble traditional Russian ransomware setups, and the group functions on a RaaS model, recruiting affiliates from Russian forums and offering them 90% of ransom payments. This situation underscores the evolving nature of ransomware threats and the persistent vulnerability of victims, even after compliance with initial demands.
