Observers saw a subsequent 22 million dollar Bitcoin payment to a blockchain ledger associated with that group of hackers, so it appears a ransom was paid. Were they the true culprits? Were the extraterrestrials even involved?ClosedNicola asked 7 months ago • Extraterrestrial Agenda96 views0 answers0 votesWe saw an announcement saying: “Change Healthcare, an affiliate of Optum and UnitedHealthcare, experienced a cyberattack last week. This is significant because Change operates the nation’s largest medical electronic data interchange (or EDI), a network that allows for the transmission of claims data back and forth between insurance companies and hospitals, pharmacies, doctors’ offices and other healthcare providers seeking payment for their services. Among the types of transactions processed daily through Change are patient eligibility verification, clinical pre-authorizations, claims submissions, and payments to providers for services rendered. Change is a vital link between providers and insurers, processing more than 15 billion healthcare transactions annually. In 2022, the U.S. Department of Justice noted that over 50% of all U.S. medical claims pass through or touch Change’s EDI clearinghouse, and we suspect that number has only increased since then.” Is this just a human malicious attack, or is it related to the plan of the interlopers to weaken us by disrupting our technology?ClosedNicola asked 7 months ago • Extraterrestrial Agenda71 views0 answers0 votes
