A malware attack affected the production and distribution of the Saturday editions of several newspapers across the United States, including the Los Angeles Times and the San Diego Union Tribune. The purpose remains unclear, but the attack allegedly came from outside the country.
A malware attack disrupted the production and delivery of newspapers across the United States over the weekend, affecting the Saturday editions of the Los Angeles Times and San Diego Union Tribune, among others.
Tribune Publishing detected malware on its servers on Friday, sending technology teams scrambling to contain the attack. However, it spread through the company’s network, crippling the news production and printing process for the multiple newspapers that shared Tribune’s platform.
The Los Angeles Times and the San Diego Union Tribune, which Tribune formerly owned, experienced distribution delays for their Saturday editions.
