Cyberattack strikes US newspapers

A CYBERATTACK caused major printing and delivery disruptions on Saturday at the Los Angeles Times and other major US newspapers, including ones owned by Tribune Publishing Co such as the Chicago Tribune and the Baltimore Sun.

The cyberattack appeared to originate outside the United States, the Los Angeles Times reported.

The attack led to distribution delays for 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 said it first detected the malware on Friday.

The West Coast editions of the Wall Street Journal and New York Times were hit as they are also printed on the shared production platform.

Tribune Publishing spokeswoman Marisa Kollias said the virus hurt back-office systems used to publish and produce 鈥渘ewspapers across our properties.鈥
