CHANGE HEALTHCARE FACES ANOTHER RANSOMWARE THREAT—AND IT LOOKS CREDIBLE

BYUSANEWS

Apr 12, 2024 #change, #credible, #crime, #cybersecurity, #faces, #hacking,
#HEALTHCARE, #ransomware, #Threatand

For months, Change Healthcare has faced an immensely messy, months-long
ransomware debacle that has left hundreds of pharmacies and medical practices
across the United States unable to process claims. Now, thanks to an apparent
dispute within the ransomware criminal ecosystem, it may have just become far
messier still.

Last month, the ransomware group AlphV, which had claimed credit for encrypting
Change Healthcare’s network and threatened to leak reams of the company’s
sensitive healthcare data, received a $22 million payment—evidence, publicly
captured on Bitcoin’s blockchain, that Change Healthcare had very likely caved
to its tormentors’ ransom demand, though the company has yet to confirm that it
paid. But in a new definition of a worst-case ransomware, a different ransomware
group claims to be holding Change Healthcare’s stolen data and is demanding a
payment of their own.

Since Monday, RansomHub, a relatively new ransomware group, has posted to its
dark web site that it has four terabytes of Change Healthcare’s stolen data,
which it threatened to sell to the “highest bidder” if Change Healthcare didn’t
pay an unspecified ransom. RansomHub tells WIRED it is not affiliated with AlphV
and “can’t say” how much it’s demanding as a ransom payment.

RansomHub initially declined to publish or provide WIRED any sample data from
that stolen trove to prove its claim. But on Friday, a representative for the
group sent WIRED several screenshots of what appeared to be patient records and
a data-sharing contract for United Healthcare, which owns Change Healthcare, and
Emdeon, which acquired Change Healthcare in 2014 and later took its name.

While WIRED could not fully confirm RansomHub’s claims, the samples suggest that
this second extortion attempt against Change Healthcare may be more than an
empty threat. “For anyone doubting that we have the data, and to anyone
speculating the criticality and the sensitivity of the data, the images should
be enough to show the magnitude and importance of the situation and clear the
unrealistic and childish theories,” the RansomHub contact tells WIRED in an
email.

Change Healthcare didn’t immediately respond to WIRED’s request for comment on
RansomHub’s extortion demand.

Brett Callow, a ransomware analyst with security firm Emsisoft, says he believes
AlphV did not originally publish any data from the incident and the origin of
RansomHub’s data is unclear. “I obviously don’t know whether the data is real—it
could have been pulled from elsewhere—but nor do I see anything that indicates
it may not be authentic,” he says of the data shared by RansomHub.

Jon DiMaggio, chief security strategist at threat intelligence firm Analyst1,
says he believes RansomHub is “telling the truth and does have Change
HealthCare’s data,” after reviewing the information sent to WIRED. While
RansomHub is a new ransomware threat actor, DiMaggio says, they are quickly
“gaining momentum.”

If RansomHub’s claims are real, it will mean that Change Healthcare’s already
catastrophic ransomware ordeal has become a kind of cautionary tale about the
dangers of trusting ransomware groups to follow through on their promises, even
after a ransom is paid. In March, someone who goes by the name “notchy” posted
to a Russian cybercriminal forum that AlphV had pocketed that $22 million
payment and disappeared without sharing a commission with the “affiliate”
hackers who typically partner with ransomware groups and often penetrate
victims’ networks on their behalf.
