New York: The United States has announced a million dollar reward for information about the hacker group known as the “Black Cat” technology company.
According to foreign news agencies, the US State Department offered a reward for information about the ransomware group known as “Black Cat”.
A hacker group (ransomware group) hacked the United Health Technology Unit of America and disrupted insurance payments across the country.
United Health said last week it had begun to address a backlog of more than $14 billion in medical claims caused by the cyberattack in late February and early March, but was interrupted.

UnitedHealthcare’s technology unit plays a key role in the payment process from insurance companies to medical companies, and in some cases the disruption caused by a cyber attack forces patients and doctors to pay for medical services.
The cyber attack had a severe impact on community health centers that serve more than 30 million poor and uninsured patients.
The hackers claimed earlier this month that the company had paid a $22 million ransom in an effort to restore its systems, but did not say whether the company had restored services after receiving the money.
The hacker put a false statement on his website that the authorities were able to control his activities.
