  UnitedHealth had a massive ransomware attach in Feb and millions of people got their data leaked.

    Not just them. I’ve gotten 3 letters from providers saying data was stolen and 1 from my ins company saying the same.

    It’s a wonder we even try to keep this shit safe anymore where every company with underpaid or incompetent IT/security hold our data.

      I was recently in college for IT, and my professors said a couple of times that it’s best practice just to assume that all of your info has already been stolen

  Probably. Sadly, they’re one of the biggest in the U.S. and I don’t get to choose.

    They are required to meet HIPAA. If they aren’t make a storm of it and report them.

  I’ve received more healthcare provider PII leak letters in the last couple years than the number of appointments I’ve had. Everyone is so eager to come up with some shiny new software to sell in the healthcare goldrush, but so many of them are absolutely terrible at security.

  My guess it’s from the Change Healthcare breach back in Feb.
