Ransomware attack knocks some Sinclair television stations off the air

The company, which has 185 television stations in 86 markets, did not address questions regarding how widespread the service disruptions were, but at least a half-dozen of its stations used social media to inform audiences of the outages. They include KHQA (Channel 7) in Hannibal, Miss.; KOMO News in Seattle; WLUK Fox 11 in Wisconsin; CBS (Channel 6) in Albany, N.Y.; and KATU (Channel 2) in Portland, Ore.
