The Guardian is suspected of being attacked by hackers, and the company has informed employees to work from home.
On the morning of December 22, Beijing time, it was reported that the Guardian was suspected of being subjected to a blackmail attack, and the company had informed employees to work from home for the rest of the week.
The Guardian has had a serious IT accident since Tuesday, affecting some digital infrastructure, but the Guardian continues to report through its website and App.
Anna Anna Bateson, chief executive of the Guardian Media Group (Guardian Media Group), said in a statement: "We believe this is a blackmail attack, but we will continue to consider all possibilities." Bateson expects the Guardian to still publish Thursday's print edition.
The identity of the team behind the attack is unclear.
