The group claimed to have stolen backups, personally identifiable information and more from Morrison, according to the publication, and added the hospital to its dark web leak site.

The group also published a sample as proof of the stolen data and threatened to start initiating patient calls. The group has said this is due to the hospital not providing them with a “clear response.”
