Industry groups, including the Health Information Sharing and Analysis Center and the American Hospital Association, are urging their members to take precautions in the wake of a cyberattack last week on Change Healthcare, a unit of Optum.
The advisories come as some security researchers, including those at threat intelligence firm RedSense, in recent days have blamed the Change Healthcare incident on an apparent exploitation of the CVE-2024-1708 and CVE-2024-1709 vulnerabilities in ConnectWise’s remote access tool ScreenConnect.
