Tribune Cyber Attack

This seems like a big deal. Cyber attack from a foreign actor. Able to cripple news distribution. I think this is more than a test.

The LA Times has a better story, but it’s behind a paywall.

Newspapers report suspected malware attack - CNN

 

Not necessarily from a foreign actor.

Anyone anywhere can get private VPN accounts from servers in some countries and then route an attack from that server location to anywhere else in the world.

 

Just going off the LA Times report that indicates it was from outside the US. Still a lot to be learned and still fluid.

 

Here's the LA Times story:
Malware attack disrupts delivery of L.A. Times and Tribune papers across the U.S.

 

Thanks. Much more detailed.

 

Guess someone was trying to collect their winnings from the Nigerian lottery ...
