Hot Take:

Who knew healthcare could get re-infected so quickly? Change Healthcare, after coughing up $22 million in ransom to ALPHV, finds itself under the weather again with RansomHub now holding the thermometer. If ransomware were a virus, Change Healthcare's immune system would be on the fritz, and it seems there's no vaccine in sight. It's like déjà vu all over again, but with an even heftier price tag dangling over their heads. Will they pay or won't they? Stay tuned for the next episode of 'As the Cyber World Turns'!
