The 200-year-old media company told staff to work from home after being hit with ransomware on Tuesday night. The Guardian shut down some of its technology infrastructure, with the print newspaper being impacted the most.
“As everyone knows, there has been a serious incident which has affected our IT network and systems in the last 24 hours. We believe this to be a ransomware attack but are continuing to consider all possibilities,” the Guardian Media Group officials said on Wednesday.
