answer follow-up questions about the breach, said Errol Weiss, chief security
officer at the Health Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Health-ISAC), a nonprofit
that helps healthcare groups exchange information about cyber threats. Only
UnitedHealth can identify who was affected and what the risks are to those people, he said.
