Philadelphia Inquirer hit by major cyber-attack.

The Philadelphia Inquirer has been hit by a cyber-attack, causing the worst disruption to the newspaper in decades. The attack has been reported to the FBI, and it is unclear when normal editorial services will be restored. The incident is the greatest publication disruption to the state’s largest news organisation since a blizzard shut operations down for two days in January 1996. News organisations are increasingly being targeted by sophisticated cyber-attacks, and it is unclear whether any personal data has been exposed, exactly which systems had been breached, or who was behind the attack and what motivations they had.
