PLEASE--we need some reporting here

2) A statement revealing about how their systems were compromised.

3) Any indication of the nature of the records that were exfiltrated.

Nevermind a post-mortem or RCA.

We DESPERATELY need the press (that would be you) to hold UHC's feet to the fire on this. Summarizing press releases is not reporting.
