Sun Sentinel Newspaper Hit By Cyber Attack

Cyber attack disrupts newspaper distribution across US

A cyber attack caused major printing and delivery disruptions on Saturday at the Los Angeles Times and other major US newspapers, including ones owned by the Tribune Publishing Co.

The cyber attack appeared to originate outside the United States, the Los Angeles Times reported, citing a source with knowledge of the situation.

The attack led to distribution delays in the Saturday edition of The Times, Tribune, Sun and other newspapers that share a production platform in Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Tribune Publishing, whose newspapers also include the New York Daily News and Sun Sentinel, said it first detected the malware on Friday and reported it to the FBI. Sun Sentinel failed to publish it's Saturday Paper and sent it out on Sunday.
