AnMed Facebook page no longer available after nearly 100 posts from suspected hackers
ANDERSON, S.C. —
The AnMed Facebook page is no longer available after it appears hackers posted nearly 100 ransom messages on Tuesday morning.
This appears to be part of an ongoing cyberattack affecting the health system.
The first post below was done about 9:40 a.m. Tuesday. It was taken down shortly after that.
(Video above shows what the page looked like before it was taken down)
