https://cnycentral.com/news/local/watertown-newspaper-hacked-cannot-print-sunday-editions The Watertown Daily Times is working to fix a computer glitch, and hopes to have a hybrid Sunday-Monday edition printed shortly, according to the publisher. The full print edition of today's Watertown Daily Times could not be delivered today: the paper's website says a cyber attack, discovered on Saturday afternoon, is to blame. Our news partner WWNY-TV spoke with managing editor Alec Johnson. "For our readers that didn't get the paper today, I'm sorry that that happened and you had to be a part, a victim like we were," said Johnson. The paper reports on its website that the virus, which left only the calling card “Ryuk: Balance of the Shadow Universe,” is the same one that crippled Tribune Publishing in December, according to published reports. It also crippled the data infrastructure of Stewart, Fla. on April, 13. This morning, subscribers were delivered some sections of the newspaper, which are printed in advance, but the main news sections, sports and Sunday Weekly could not be printed Saturday night. _______________________________________________ BreachExchange mailing list sponsored by Risk Based Security BreachExchange () lists riskbasedsecurity com If you wish to Edit your membership or Unsubscribe you can do so at the following link: https://lists.riskbasedsecurity.com/listinfo/breachexchange
