"Major Cyberattack on Change Healthcare Disrupts Pharmacy Operations Nationwide"

U.S. healthcare technology giant Change Healthcare has confirmed a cyberattack, causing a nationwide outage affecting local pharmacies and healthcare providers. The disruption is expected to last at least through the day, with most login pages inaccessible. Change Healthcare, a major player in the U.S. healthcare system, handles patient payments and processes billions of healthcare transactions annually. The incident comes after the completion of a $7.8 billion merger with UnitedHealth Group's Optum, which provides technology and data to insurance companies and healthcare services.
