Summary

The NYPD warns US healthcare executives about an online hitlist following the assassination of the UnitedHealthcare CEO.

The threat has led to increased security measures and concerns about copycat killings inspired by social media posts celebrating the murder.

The NYPD bulletin highlights the need for heightened protection due to the potential inspiration from the suspect’s notebook and online reactions justifying the shooting.

    It’s nice to think they’re freaking out, but I feel like whatever extra precautions they take for themselves and their families will be passed onto us and result in even more expensive healthcare.

    Still worth it tho.

      Yeah this is bullshit as an article, just scooping up easy clicks for nothing.

      There’s no online hitlist - hey, that’s against the newly revised ToS!

      Oooo - maybe they mean it’s on tHe DaRk WeB, you know, where all the h4X0rz post credit card numbers and pictures of dropped ice cream cones.
