The M6 Group, France's largest privately-owned multimedia group, became victim of ransomware attack but none of the company's TV and radio channels suffered any downtime.
The M6 Group said they managed to contain the infection with the help of its cybersecurity staff, preventing any downtime to any of its ten TV channels, radio stations, and film studios.
But it was found that the company did not escape the incident unscathed, with phone lines and email servers still being down.
The hack was initially claimed by an ISIS-linked hacker group known as the Cyber Caliphate, but was later attributed to one of Russia's elite cyber-espionage teams known as Fancy Bear.
