Sinclair's WWMT hit by ransomware
Sinclair's WWMT hit by ransomware
Happened to see a Facebook post that News 3 Sunday Morning did not air due to what they called "technical difficulties". Just read on a Facebook group that Sinclair's corporate network got hit with a ransomware attack over the weekend. No TelePrompts, video servers or graphics. Some stations worked around with Google Docs, laptops playing from thumb drives and even used a chalkboard for the copyright notice.

Saw something on Twitter this morning about a young weathercaster getting ready to do her segments with a whiteboard and all the elements (Conditions, temp, winds, etc.) written out on there.
Hard luck for the conglomerate that takes so much abuse in the Flint/Tri-Cities regional media forum. Takes me back to when the basement flooded in 77 Monroe Center and I had to do Saturday morning news from Muskegon.

I saw they didn't have a Noon Newscast on Monday was Spotlight On America they did have the Noon Newscast today as I only watch for the weather. I think there was no Wheel or Jeopardy last night they did say they would air it tonight the anchors said that was a victory and to be happy about I don't think Big Bang was on CW7 tonight when I flipped a couple of minutes before Stargirl came on.

I don't know if this is related but Comet 15.3 has had the same frozen scene on for days.

Re: Sinclair's WWMT hit by ransomware
Looks like it stopped being frozen for a day or two at most, but now it is back to frozen on a mortgage help commercial. I also noticed 41.4 had a PC update message plastered over the radar image. I wonder if anyone watches their own stations anymore?
Re: Sinclair's WWMT hit by ransomware
CW7 finally did get a 10PM Newcast on the air tonight as it has been The National Desk. Comet is back on no more stills I checked on Monday I don't watch that channel.
