UnitedHealth Group, the parent of ransomware-hit Change Healthcare, delivered some very unwelcome news for customers today as they continue to recover from the hugely expensive and disruptive digital breach.

In a very roundabout way, the corporate giant says that network intruders may have accessed internal health-related data associated with a very large number of people in the United States.
"Based on the initial targeted data sampling to date, the company has found files containing protected health information and personally identifiable information, which may cover a significant portion of people in America," it said in a statement.
"To date, the company has not seen evidence that materials such as doctors' charts or complete medical histories have been exfiltrated among the data," UnitedHealth added.
