Long-standing British newspaper The Guardian has told staff to continue working from home and notified the UK’s data privacy watchdog about the security breach following a suspected ransomware attack before Christmas.<\/p>\n

The publication broke the news about the “serious IT incident” on its systems on December 21, and said the attack affected parts of the company’s technology infrastructure. At the time, it told staff to work from home.<\/p>\n

“We believe this to be a ransomware attack but are continuing to consider all possibilities,” The Guardian Media Group Chief Executive Anna Bateson and Editor-in-Chief Katharine Viner told staff<\/a> last month.<\/p>\n
