Andy Alcock reports from Missouri:
A blackmail message from an apparent hacker appears to be the reason Liberty Hospital computer systems crashed Tuesday.
KMBC exclusively obtained that message.
The message from an unknown source says in part, “We have hacked you and downloaded all confidential data of your company. And it can be spread out to people and media. Your reputation will be ruined. Do not hesitate and save your business. We’re the ones who can quickly recover your systems. Starting from now, you have 72 hours to contact us.”

Although the threat actor group is not named, as Brett Callow commented to DataBreaches, the language of the ransom note is the language used by INC ransomware group. There is no listing for Liberty on INC’s leak site at publication.
