French television network TV5Monde was forced to broadcast only pre-recorded programs Thursday after an "unprecedented" hack by self-proclaimed Islamic State (ISIS) terrorists, who also hijacked its websites and social networks.
The Paris-based company, whose programs are broadcast in more than 200 countries worldwide, was the target of a cyberattack that is "unprecedented for us and unprecedented in the history of television," TV5Monde boss Yves Bigot told AFP.
"Since 5 a.m., we have only been able to put out a single program on all our channels. For the moment, we are unable to produce our own programs," Bigot added.
"When you work in television...and you find out that your 11 channels are down, of course that's one of the most dreadful things that can happen to you," he said.
The hackers took control of the station and its social media operations late Wednesday, blacking out the TV channels and posting documents on its Facebook page purporting to be the identity cards and CVs of relatives of French soldiers involved in anti-ISIS operations, along with threats against the troops.
