Broadcasting of Ukrainian TV Interrupted
INCIDENT
One of Ukraine's main media companies, 1+1 Media, said its satellite TV channels had suffered a cyberattack on Wednesday. It said in a statement that 39 channels, including some of its own, were currently unavailable. Ukraine's 24 Channel said on its website that its satellite broadcast had also been affected as hackers "launched their propaganda". "After two hours of the attack, the signal was restored, but the attack started again," it said.
European provider SES that operates Astra told Reuters a few dozen video distributors in Europe faced outages caused by "external radio frequency interference" on Wednesday. It added that satellites were safe.
