   New, by @carlypage: Nebraska's attorney general has sued Change Healthcare over security failings that led to the massive data breach of at least 100 million Americans' health data.

   Per the complaint, the ALPHV hackers gained access to Change Healthcare's systems using the account of a “low-level customer support employee."

     UnitedHealth, which owns Change Healthcare, told us that it will "defend ourselves vigorously" in court.

     The company also said that it was in the "final stages" of notifying individuals affected by the data breach — the same thing it told us in July — suggesting the number of Americans affected by the data breach will be far higher than 100 million it's disclosed so far.
