Description:
UnitedHealth CEO Andrew Witty admitted to the Senate that the company paid $22 million in ransom to the BlackCat ransomware gang. BlackCat hacked into Change Healthcare, owned by UnitedHealth, through compromised credentials in February. The hack disrupted healthcare providers for months as UnitedHealth shut down Change Healthcare's system for a week. Some senators said providers are still awaiting payments from claims filed in February. Witty said the decision to pay was entirely his and called it one of the hardest of his career. UnitedHealth handles over one-third of US patient records and oversees 1 in 10 doctors.

_otd-in-space-may-3-delta-rocket-fails-to-launch-goes-g-weather-satellite.webp "On May 3, 1986, NASA attempted to launch a new weather satellite called GOES-G for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, but the rocket malfunctioned in mid-air. <br/><br/>About a minute after it lifted off from Cape Canaveral, lightning struck the Delta rocket and created a short circuit. This caused the rocket's main engine to shut down prematurely. It started tumbling around in the sky with some of its strap-on boosters still firing. NASA sent the rocket a command to self-destruct, and it exploded above the Atlantic Ocean. They did this to minimize the dangers of having the entire rocket crash back down to Earth. This launch failure was especially disheartening for NASA, because it was the first launch since the Challenger disaster three months earlier. Investigators found that this Delta rocket had a lot of problems that were known before the launch, especially with the wiring. After the accident, launch companies across the country changed the way they wired their rockets' electronics.")
