Newspaper Giant Lee Enterprises Reels From Cyberattack

Lee Enterprises, a large US newspaper publisher operating in 72 markets, reported a cyberattack to the SEC on Feb. 7 that forced network shutdowns and disrupted printing and delivery across multiple publications. The company has notified law enforcement and is investigating; although no material impact or data exfiltration has been confirmed, external experts and newsroom symptoms suggest a likely ransomware-style disruption.
