A cyber-attack on Australia’s Channel Nine TV network has interrupted live broadcasts, raising questions about the country’s exposure to hackers. ‘Weekend Today’, the broadcaster’s Sunday morning news program that broadcasts from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. from its Sydney headquarters, was also unable to air. In addition, the network’s 5:00 p.m. newscast was also not broadcasted in Melbourne.
The hack was being investigated as “criminal sabotage or the work of a foreign nation,” according to Nine. On Sunday, Australia’s parliament was looking into a potential cyber-attack in Canberra. Entry to IT and emails at Parliament House has been restricted as a precaution, according to Assistant Defense Minister Andrew Hastie.
