Oct 24 (Reuters) – The February hack at UnitedHealth’s\uff0ctech unit Change affected the personal information of 100 million people, the U.S. health department’s website showed, making it the largest healthcare data breach in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UnitedHealth has previously said that hackers potentially\u00a0stole<\/a>\u00a0a third of Americans’ data in one of the worst hacks to hit the U.S. healthcare sector. The company began notifying affected patients in June.

The number of impacted people was posted on a list of data breaches maintained by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services’ office for civil rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A breach at the health insurer Anthem \u2014 now known as Elevance Health (ELV.N), opens new tab<\/a> \u2014 in 2015 impacted nearly 79 million people in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UnitedHealth said in a statement that the investigation is still in its final stages and it continues to notify potentially impacted individuals as quickly as possible.

The Change unit was breached by a hacking group called ALPHV, also known as “BlackCat.” UnitedHealth first reported the breach on Feb. 21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The breach caused widespread disruptions in claims processing, impacting patients and providers across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In June, UnitedHealth issued a public notice about the ransomware hack as part of its requirements to notify the estimated one-third of the country whose\u00a0private data<\/a>\u00a0may have been exposed in the attack.

At the time, the company said that while it cannot confirm the nature of data, opens new tab<\/a> affected by the breach, it could include health insurance member IDs, patient diagnoses, treatment information and social security numbers, as well as billing codes used by providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this month, the company forecast a business disruption\u00a0impact of $705 million, opens new tab<\/a>\u00a0this year from the hack that caused massive payment and other disruptions across the U.S. UnitedHealth issued billions of dollars in loans to providers affected by the hack and incurred costs related to notifying customers of the breach.
