Change Healthcare Ransomware attack.
Change Healthcare Ransomware attack.
In 2024 Change Healthcare suffered from one of the biggest health ransomware attacks in U.S history. Millions of their health care users personal information was stolen. They were hit by a Russian ransomware gang known as, "ALPHV/BlackCat". Unitedhealth gave in and payed the ransomware gang $22 million dollars, and in return the hackers went away. Although this company was hit with a scary attack, doing things like not clicking on unfamiliar emails and links can help avoid smaller attacks.

Lessons learned
I learned a lot with this project! I researched different companies and learned about how major businesses are dealing with a major cybersecurity battle. I got to learn a little more about how to keep myself protected from cyber threats with the cybersecurity training. Overall, this project was extremely insightful about different types of cybercrimes and how to handle them.
