Hot Take:

When they said "Change Healthcare," I bet they didn't mean "give all our data to cybercriminals," but here we are! The US government has pulled up its digital sleeves to dive into the cyber mess that's got patient data swimming in murky waters. Meanwhile, BlackCat's playing cat and mouse with affiliates and millions in ransom, opting for an early retirement. It's like a soap opera over there, but with more encryption and less amnesia plotlines.
