A leading British newspaper hit by a suspected ransomware attack last month told workers it will keep its offices closed for another three weeks, according to a published report.
The Guardian — which is headquartered in London and has offices in New York and Australia — has had staff work remotely since the publisher’s global IT systems was hacked Dec. 20.
Guardian Media Group Chief Executive Officer Anna Bateson circulated a note Monday, saying that all staff must continue to work from home, according to the Press Gazette.
“This is a further update on the serious disruption to our network and IT systems that began before Christmas,” Bateson wrote. “As a result of the steps we took to secure our network, a number of key systems have been taken offline and remain unavailable.”
