An attack on newspaper computers over this past weekend stopped the presses at some newspapers and disrupted delivery of many of them. But that's all, the newspapers would have us believe. No damage to them otherwise. On the other hand, the attack "originated from outside the United States[.]" See Tonby Barboza, Meg James, and Emily Alpert Reyes, Malware Attack Disrupts Delivery of L.A. Times and Tribune Papers Across the U.S., Los Angeles Times Online, posted December 29, 2018.
Right.
Foreign hackers went to the trouble of accessing the Tribune papers' combined computer system that serves the entire United States just to interrupt deliveries?
It is to be doubted.
What's next?
Until the next hack attack, have a safe and Happy New Year!
