The Weather Channel confirmed that it fell victim to a malicious ransomware attack. On Thursday, April 18, 2019, The Weather Channel live broadcast went offline for about an hour according to The Wall Street Journal, which the company later confirmed in a Twitter statement was due to a ‘malicious software attack.’ The FBI is now investigating the ransomware attack that shut down the Weather Channel’s live program, which forced the cable channel to resort to a taped program.
