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.
Does it really count as a “hit list” if it’s just a list of publicly known healthcare executives? This isn’t so much a case of a list of targets as it is just a list of people in an industry that literally everyone hates, and they’re suddenly aware that they are mortal.
