Banijay

Banijay had its IT systems compromised by a bad actor demanding a ransom, potentially exposing the personal information of 1000 of staff.

Deadline understands that it was the systems of Endemol Shine Group, Banijay’s $2.2B acquisition, that were breached in the cyber attack.

Staff have been told it could include bank account information and ID records, such as passport data, though this is yet to be confirmed. The breach could also impact former employees, who are yet to be notified.

Deadline hears that the hack has downed internal systems, with distribution arm Banijay Rights, said to be particularly affected.
