United Healthcare, Optum, and Change Healthcare Involved in Northeast Ohio Neighborhood Health Data Breach

Marco A. De Felice reports:

Another significant data breach looms for United Healthcare (UHC), involving patient documents belonging to its Optum financial assistance program and its subsidiary Change Healthcare.

In recent hours, the ransomware group Medusa has claimed on its website, within Tor networks, the cyberattack on the servers of Northeast Ohio Neighborhood Health (NEON), a company providing healthcare services headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, and the exfiltration of nearly 51GB of data. Many of these documents refer to PHI and PII of patients associated with health insurance contracts with the United Healthcare Group.

SuspectFile.com has also had the opportunity to review a series of contracts and administrative documents that NEON has entered into with other health insurance companies, providers, organizations providing home care services, childcare agencies, companies developing software for electronic health records, and management systems for the healthcare sector. Among the files exfiltrated by Medusa are financial reports, board reports, and banking documents.
