“The hackers gained initial access using a stolen account credential that lacked multi-factor authentication security, according to UnitedHealth.”
Absolutely unacceptable. I might be easier to forgive them if some zero day was used, but that’s so easily preventable.
That account presumably had some level of privileges, the policy should have been to enforce MFA, and if the account was inactive, disable it until the user needs it at which point set up MFA again.

In 8 years you’ll get a visa gift card with 12 cents on it

Well they make, what, 80 Billion a year? So 80B/190M = $421 each? Plus we’d fuck them over? Hey, we got nothing better to do but get sick and die.

Fuck $421. Should be free healthcare, no copay no deductible no denials, for those affected. Really teach those bastards.

After lawyer fees, it’ll be back down to 12 cents.
