This development comes after Change Healthcare reportedly paid a$22 million ransom to another ransomware group, ALPHV. However, ALPHV vanished after receiving the payment, leaving the stolen data susceptible to further misuse. Earlier this month, RansomHub claimed that it had the stolen data in its possession and threatened to expose it unless another ransom is met.
