Additional details about the cyberattack affecting Change Healthcare’s systems have emerged in regulatory filings the company submitted to the federal government this week.
On Thursday, the company reported the attack on its systems likely came from “a suspected nation-state associated cyber security threat actor” that had gained access to some of the company’s systems.
