UnitedHealth says ‘substantial proportion’ of Americans affected in breach

The Change Healthcare data breach may have affected a “substantial proportion” of US citizens, according to parent company UnitedHealth. The breach potentially compromised personal and health data, although there is no evidence of full medical histories or doctors’ charts being accessed. The complexity of the data review means that individuals affected will not be notified for some months. UnitedHealth has not submitted HIPAA breach reports even though the breach was discovered on 21 February.
