A cyberattack that appears to have originated from outside the United States caused major printing and delivery disruptions at several newspapers across the country on Saturday including the Los Angeles Times, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.
The attack led to distribution delays in the Saturday edition of The Times, the San Diego Union-Tribune, the Chicago Tribune, Baltimore Sun and several other major newspapers that operate on a shared production platform. It also stymied distribution of the West Coast editions of the Wall Street Journal and New York Times, which are all printed at the Los Angeles Times’ Olympic printing plant in downtown Los Angeles.

“printed at the Los Angeles Times’ Olympic printing plant in downtown Los Angeles.”

Fine by me.
I wonder if there is any correlation between this and the major Century Link outage?

Good question, though that was just a 911 outage, I think.

Outside the US?
That’s what VPNs are for.
They have no idea where it came from.

Took 3 people to write this? Hmmm...
To: madprof98
Notice what? LOL! We got a subscription offer from the Reno Gazette urinal and I wrote on the form to NEVER CONACT US AGAIN! Sure enough, a couple of days later the paper started showing up in the driveway. Nasty phone call followed to them. But, we haven’t heard from them in over a year now. And, no paper in the driveway.
