A cyber-attack has disrupted the operations of Pop TV, Slovenia’s most popular TV channel, in an incident this week believed to be an extortion attempt.
The attack, which took place on Tuesday, impacted Pop TV’s computer network and prevented the company from showing any computer graphics for the evening edition of 24UR, the station’s daily news show.
The night edition of the same show was canceled altogether, although a truncated version of the news aired on the company’s website, Pop TV said in a statement on Tuesday, the day of the attack.
But while news broadcasts were restored by the next day, the attack also impacted other parts of the network’s operation.
In a second statement on Wednesday, Pop TV said the attack also hit some of its web servers, including VOYO, an on-demand streaming platform that offers channels from its parent company, along with licensed movies and TV series.
The company said the attack prevented its staff from adding new content to the platform and streaming any of its channels and live sporting events, such as the Winter Olympics, which angered many of its paid subscribers.
