Click-bait alert! It's not "federal data breach" (it's UnitedHealth, not gov't), and it happened 2 years ago. This fits the pattern of other "news" articles from the same site, see https://morningoverview.com/russian-satellite-shatters-into-... dated Feb 24, 2026, which reports on the Russian test from 2021(!).
> first detected in February 2024…Change Healthcare initially reported sending approximately 100 million breach notification letters as of October 22, 2024
Change was required to notify impacted individuals within 60 days, incidentally.
Is this article just trying to distract from the fact that the largest data breach was actually Elon Musk and DOGE in 2025?
Yes, this was exactly what I thought when reading the title.
Opening the comment page has shown that great minds think alike :-)
Need to add 2024 to the title. This attack was 2 years ago.
The article is from today though.
But without the date it seems very sensational in that it implies it is happening in realtime.
Best compromise is probation make the headline ‘2024 Federal data breach may be…’
