    COO Lindsey Andrews says  “Based on our findings to date, we have confirmed that the event resulted in unauthorized access to information in parts of our system environment."

    The Newfoundland Broadcasting Company Limited – owners and operators of NTV and OZFM experienced a cyber security event recently. It has not affected the on-air operations of NTV or OZFM, according to COO Lindsey Andrews 

    “Upon discovering this event, we took immediate steps to protect, secure and restore our systems, launched an investigation with outside forensic experts and notified law enforcement,” says Andrews. “Based on our findings to date, we have confirmed that the event resulted in unauthorized access to information in parts of our system environment. We are also aware that an unauthorized third party intends to post data online, claiming it is ours,” Andrews says. “With the assistance of cybersecurity experts, we are working diligently to understand how the information was obtained and what information has been exposed. We have a dedicated internal and external team, but this process will take some time.”
