The Philadelphia Inquirer experienced a cyberattack that prevented the printing of its Sunday edition. The identity of the hackers responsible for the attack and the extent of the damage caused is not certain at the moment.

The cyberattack was initially discovered on Saturday morning when the content-management system (CMS) used for publishing articles on the newspaper's website stopped functioning. Reporters used a temporary solution that allowed them to post directly on the Inquirer website.

The newspaper is in efforts to fully restore systems and conduct the investigation promptly, promising to keep employees and readers informed of any developments.
