NEWS BRIEF<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On Friday, Feb. 3, Lee Enterprises, one of the largest <\/span>newspaper groups<\/a><\/span> in the US, with newspapers in 72 markets, filed a report with the SEC detailing a cyberattack that impacted its operations after causing an outage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lee Enterprises is a public publishing company that also offers online services and special publications. Some of the newspapers include The Buffalo News, Omaha World-Herald, and Richmond Times-Dispatch.<\/span><\/p>\n

The company is still investigating the data breach incident and determining the potential impact on its operations. It has not yet identified “<\/span>any impact that is material<\/a><\/span>,” but that could change as the investigation continues.<\/span><\/p>\n

“These types of investigations are complex and time-consuming, with many taking several weeks or longer to complete,” said a <\/span>Lee Enterprises spokesperson<\/a><\/span>. “We have notified law enforcement of the situation.”<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear what kind of cyberattack hit the newspaper company, who the threat actors are, and if any data was stolen; however, some of the Lee Enterprises newsrooms reported the cyberattack forced the company to shut down networks, which led to disruptions in newspaper printing and delivery.<\/span><\/p>\n

As of now, multiple publication websites contain notices reading: “We are currently undergoing maintenance on some services, which may temporarily affect access to subscription accounts and the E-edition. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work to resolve the issues.”<\/span><\/p>\n
