Sinclair Ransomware Attack

Ransomware is a type of cyberattack in which hackers encrypt computer files then demand payment to unlock them. Hackers are increasingly setting their sights on local TV station owners . Sinclair, which owns dozens of local TV and sports channels in the U.S., said it found on Sunday that “certain office and operational networks were disrupted” and data was taken from its computer network. The incident also affected advertisers on its local TV stations. The company has said that it has launched an investigation after finding its servers and workstations were encrypted with ransomware.
