For more than two weeks, a cyberattack has disrupted business at health care providers across the United States, forcing small clinics to scramble to stay in business and exposing the fragility of the billing system that underpins American health care.

“We’re hemorrhaging money,” said Catherine Reinheimer, practice manager at the Foot and Ankle Specialty Center in the suburbs of Philadelphia. “This will probably be the last week that we can keep everybody on full-time without having to do something,” she told CNN. The center is considering taking out a loan to keep the lights on.

The cyberattack disrupted the computer networks of Change Healthcare, which serves thousands of hospitals, insurers and pharmacies nationwide. It prevented some insurance payments on prescription drugs from processing, leaving many care providers footing the bill up front and hoping to get reimbursed.

Didn’t realize that this is, still, ongoing.
Our enemies won’t need to do anything kinetic.
A massive cyber attack would cause more chaos and death than a few well placed nukes.
Wonder If this is part of something bigger, an isolated crime, a probe...
I expect a massive cyber attack, as prophecied by the World Enslavement Forum, around election time.

That, alone, would cause more damage and chaos than a well placed nuke.

Overseers who “care” less about security and “care” more for convenience, fail to study and discover where security systems fail.

Security requires paying attention to details.
