Philadelphia Inquirer Hit by Cyberattack

The Philadelphia Inquirer was hit by a possible cyberattack that disrupted its print operation over the weekend and prompted it to close its newsroom through at least Tuesday. The newspaper discovered "anomalous activity on select computer systems" on Thursday and "immediately took those systems offline." The Inquirer was unable to print its regular Sunday edition, and its ability to post and update stories on its website was "sometimes slower than normal." The newspaper is working with Kroll, a corporate investigation firm, to restore its systems and to investigate the episode.
