Lee Enterprises, a media giant that owns dozens of newspapers across the United States, has confirmed a cyberattack on its systems is behind ongoing disruption at dozens of newspapers and media outlets across the United States.
Lee CEO Kevin Mowbray said the company was working to fully restore its systems following a cyberattack earlier in the week.
Lee is one of the largest newspaper publishers in the U.S. and provides publishing technology and website services to 72 publications.
This is the second known cyberattack on Lee in the past five years.
