Change Healthcare, a unit of UnitedHealth Group, Inc., was hit by a data breach/cyber attack in February, exposing Americans’ sensitive health and personal data to the dark web where cybercriminals buy, sell, and track personal information.
Change Healthcare is the nation’s biggest electronic data clearinghouse where tens of thousands of providers, pharmacies, and insurers use its technological infrastructure to verify insurance, confirm pre-authorization of procedures or services, exchange insurance claim data, and perform other administrative tasks essential to the delivery of healthcare.
Currently, the actual number and identity of affected patients are unknown.
To support their clients, Change Healthcare offers all Hawaii residents who believe they may have been impacted, free credit monitoring and identity theft protections for two years.
