Why should we get its paperwork?

More than 100 medical industry groups have asked the Feds to make UnitedHealth Group, not them, go through the rigmarole of notifying everyone about the Change Healthcare ransomware infection.

In short, UnitedHealth's Change Healthcare got compromised along with people's private medical-related data, there are rules and laws on notifying patients of this kind of privacy breach, and various medical groups whose customer info was affected by this ransomware attack want UnitedHealth to take care of it all.

This is especially important given the scope of security breach. While it's still unclear how many individuals' personal and protected health information was stolen during the February ransomware attack, we do know it's a very, very large number of Americans.
