President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has condemned the killing and directed security services to resolve the crime. Farion had been an outspoken defender of the Ukrainian language.

She was a prominent Ukranian nationalist with strong anti Russian views, so there's an obvious betting favourite for who put out the hit on her.

I remember this from around this time last year.
He was CEO during their ransomware attack last year that lead to a data leak affecting about a third of Americans. One of their business lines is/was a payment processor service for medical providers.
Rather than disclosing the data breach, they offered to front funding(the payments they couldn't process) on behalf of their customers at interest.
Then they paid the $22 million ransom in Bitcoin, but the attack was performed by a pair of hacker groups. The group that handled the payment fucked over their partners and kept it all, so the group that got shafted blew the whistle on the whole thing and left the company holding the bag for the shady shit they tried to pull.
Thanks for sharing that, I had no idea about any of that.
Do you have a source for follow-up?
I might be a little off on the timing, I could have sworn it was Dec '23 but most articles are ballparking it Feb/March '24. I may be mixing the timeline up with that Chinese MFA leak.
UnitedHealth says Change Healthcare cyberattack cost it $872 million
The $872 million most likely excludes any amount UnitedHealth may have paid to hackers in ransom.

UnitedHealth’s cyberattack response costs to surpass $2.3B this year
The healthcare giant’s new estimate is roughly $1 billion higher than previous forecasts as the cyberattack on subsidiary Change Healthcare continues to hamper its profit outlook.
Hackers Behind the Change Healthcare Ransomware Attack Just Received a $22 Million Payment
The transaction, visible on Bitcoin's blockchain, suggests the victim of one of the worst ransomware attacks in years may have paid a very large ransom.
Not much luck finding a deeper article on the on the lending piece, rather than the acknowledgement of the loans in those that I'd posted.
That part was told to me by one of my doctors, who was affected and received a lending offer. Doc shared the info conversationally, knowing that I work in Network Security.
I remember telling the wife it was time to go back to contracting when it was going down, because she was working (patient care) for one of their subsidiaries at the time. Basically "Time to bounce, because they won't exist in 3 years or less. This fuck up was a big one."I might be a little off on the timing, I could have sworn it was Dec '23 but most articles are ballparking it Feb/March '24.

Interesting
By no means am I saying that was the motive.
However when I saw this thread yesterday and looked at the news, it was full of the typical "We have no idea why this could possibly happen" bullshit.
UH is like any other business, and will pull shady shit if they think they can get away with it.
That Drinkin Bro's clip with Shrek & Dan, posted further up in the thread, was from yesterday's episode. Despite their respective pedigrees, it's still two dudes talking shit on a comedy podcast that is effectively a conservative leaning version of the Daily Show.
