New Hampshire Public Radio Suffers Cybersecurity Data Breach New Hampshire Public Radio is collaborating with cybersecurity experts and law enforcement to assess a recent data breach. NHPR Chief Financial Officer Travis Boucher shared that the breach appears to have had a minimal effect on the group’s internal systems. The breach only affected a limited number of business-related folders, Boucher explained, emphasizing the preliminary nature of the findings. He reassured listeners and donors that the extent of the breach was contained thanks to NHPR’s strong cybersecurity infrastructure and swift response measures. However, specific details about what the folders contained or the precise timeline of the attack have not been disclosed to maintain the integrity of the ongoing investigation. Boucher’s communication did not specify who the external cybersecurity experts are but confirmed their engagement in a rigorous review process. He also mentioned that while the investigation into the full scope of the breach continues, the impact on the station’s operations has been negligible. NHPR’s news output and programming schedules remain unaffected. The public broadcaster has already taken significant steps towards data recovery and bolstering its defensive measures to protect its databases. https://lnkd.in/gRsebcxU #cybersecurity #cyberattack #cybercrime #cyberrisk #cyberthreats #informationsecurity #infosec #breach #databreach #malware #google #bing #networksecurity #technicalsupport #itservices #itsupport #dataprotection #datasecurity #itnews #hackingprevention #cloudsecurity #riskmanagement #fbi #vciso #securityexpert #cisa #financialrisk #manufacturing #iot #ransomware
