Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc., SBGI -3.16% one of the largest owners of broadcast stations in the U.S., said it is working to contain a cybersecurity incident that disrupted some of its networks and had some of its servers and workstations encrypted with ransomware.
Sinclair said the event, which it identified over the weekend, has caused a disruption, and may continue to do so, to parts of the business, including its local advertisements.
The company said it has yet to reveal whether the cyberattack will have a “material impact on its business, operations or financial results.”
A Sinclair spokeswoman didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
