Shub & Johns LLC is currently investigating Change Healthcare (“Change”) for an apparent failure to safeguard sensitive consumer information in a data breach that was detected on or around February 21, 2024. Change Healthcare, the UnitedHealth Group-owned technology company, discovered that an unauthorized actor gained access to client data within Change’s information systems. The investigation is ongoing, and it unclear how long the unauthorized actors had access to sensitive consumer information.

Though the data security breach was discovered in February 2024, the Company has not notified impacted individuals. Change has not indicated approximately many individuals have been impacted by the breach. Change has not indicated what information has been impacted – consumer information exposed in the breach may vary but can include contact information, demographic information, medical information, and financial information. 

The cybercriminals responsible for the breach may have already obtained and sold the compromised consumer information. In previous data breaches, victims of data theft have noticed identity theft attempts ranging from fraudulent charges on bank accounts or credit cards, medical and/or government services ordered in their name, or their information being posted on the dark web.
