Lee papers hit by ransomware attack

DAVENPORT, Iowa -- Lee Enterprises sent $25 million in cryptocurrency, 1,000 pica poles, 500 proportion wheels, 100 TRS-80's (with couplers), and 250 pairs of Mary Junck's shoes to international hackers who encrypted critical applications and exfiltrated certain data in a Feb. 3 cyberattack.
Ah the Trash 80.
 
I don't know if the public found out, but I'm pretty sure Tribune chain got hit with a ransomware attack in late 2018. I heard access happened through the San Diego Tribune. Not sure how or how much money it took to resolve.
 
In response to obtaining 1,000 shares of Lee stock, Ransomware lays off 50 percent of its workforce, moves its central hacking operation to India and limits hacking to three days a week.
Regarding this attack on Lee Enterprises:
Thoughts and prayers.
