JAKARTA - UnitedHealth's Change Healthcare technology unit hopes that the disruption of the cybersecurity attacks that recently occurred will only last until at least Monday, February 26. This is stated in the latest update on their status page.

The problem began on Wednesday last week, February 21, after "cybersecurity threat actors suspected of being linked to the state" managed to access the Change Healthcare information technology system.

A number of pharmacies chains, including▁dinilai Health and Walgreens, said the disruption had an impact on their business.

Change Healthcare is a key facilitator for electronic payments and data exchange across US health care systems.
