The German Funke Media Group has suffered a ransomware attack affecting several offices around the nation which is severely hindering the publisher’s operations. The attack hindered work at the newspaper editorial offices and halted some of its major printing houses. The publishing house has decided to temporarily remove the paywall that is normally active on its news site, so everyone has full access to all of its articles. It is not yet known whether any data were exfiltrated during the attack, and whether any such data will be published if the publisher refuses to pay the ransom.”]
