Lee Enterprises has reported a significant cybersecurity attack that resulted in service disruptions affecting various operations. In a recent regulatory filing, the company described the incident as a breach in which "threat actors unlawfully accessed the company's network, encrypted critical applications, and exfiltrated certain files." Despite not explicitly mentioning ransomware, the details suggest it closely resembles a double extortion ransomware scenario. While investigations continue to ascertain any compromised sensitive data, the company indicated that core product distributions were restored, albeit with some weekly products still unavailable, impacting 5% of revenue.
"Threat actors unlawfully accessed the company's network, encrypted critical applications, and exfiltrated certain files."
"The full extent of the attack is still being assessed ... no conclusive evidence has been identified."
