List of security hacking incidents
In the month of March, a group of hackers caused significant disruption to Australia's Channel 9 News live broadcast. This incident led to the channel being unable to air multiple shows and also impacted the production of 9 News' printed materials. The attack, which was confirmed to be a ransomware attack, not only successfully took shows off the air but also resulted in the staff being locked out of their email accounts, blocked from accessing the internet, and caused a halt in the production systems for printed materials. It is worth noting that this cyber-attack marked a significant milestone as it was the largest one ever experienced by an Australian media company.
