Nine Network, one of the two commercial networks in Australia that dominate the ratings in that country, suffered a weekend cyberattack that affected their news and current affairs departments and wreaked havoc on live programming on Sunday (including their morning show "Today") and the news department's web site:
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/australias-channel-nine-suffers-cyber-attack-disruption-to-live-broadcasts Nine says that it may take weeks for its news operations to return to normal. Besides "Today" and the flagship 6 p.m. regional newscasts, the net's best-known news/current affairs product includes the nightly tabmag "A Current Affair" (inspiration for the American series of the 80s) and their version of "60 Minutes," which has stayed on the air despite ViacomCBS (owners of competing Network 10) only renewing the title and format rights and not the rights to use stories from the American version. Some believe that the Chinese government may be involved in the hack--the two counties have not been on speaking terms as of late. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
