UK broadsheet media outlet The Guardian has become the victim of a ransomware attack which seems to have taken out a large chunk of office-based systems.<\/p>\n

Journalists at the center-left newspaper have continued to work from home and publish on its website, but according to the publication’s own output<\/a>, it has been hit by “a serious IT incident, which is believed to be a ransomware attack.”<\/p>\n

It said the attack hit on Tuesday night and has affected parts of the company’s technology infrastructure, with staff told to work from home. Some disruption has occurred to behind-the-scenes services, but the company said it was confident it could still produce Thursday’s print newspaper.<\/p>\n
