What Happened at Liberty Hospital?

Liberty brought its systems back online, but has since been trying to determine whether the incident resulted in an unauthorized party gaining access to patients’ confidential information.
If any sensitive patient data was accessed or stolen, the hospital will be required to send data breach notification letters to all individuals whose information was affected.
