BERLIN (AP) — A regional newspaper group in Germany has become the target of a cyberattack, preventing it from publishing its regular editions Wednesday. The Funke media group said the attack, which began Tuesday, affected numerous computer systems at editorial offices and printing plants across the country. “It involved an attack in which the culprits encrypted data on the Funke media group's IT systems,” the publisher said in a statement. The group, which claims to reach more than 3.3 million readers nationwide with newspapers include Berlin’s Morgenpost daily, said it was forced to publish reduced editions Wednesday. It wasn't immediately clear why the company was targeted.
