Failures in the broadcaster's IT systems were even reported by listeners, who began reporting the problem via Twitter. Subsequently, the company published a statement on its official website, stating: “We have made the decision to disconnect all our operational computer systems. Broadcasting will continue uninterrupted through the headquarters in Madrid; our IT team is already working on restoring activities and recovering information.”
According to reports from digital forensics experts, as well as some local media, the company has already begun an incident recovery plan; part of this plan involves implementing certain measures that all company employees must comply with, such as:
Not using PRISA computer equipment (including laptops and desktop computers)
Under no circumstances should employees access any internal WiFi network
If an employee needs to access their Outlook 365 email account, they must do so from a computer or mobile device that is not connected to the company's networks
For their part, Everis employees have been instructed not to connect to the company's internal networks, and must also keep their devices turned off, at least for now. In some areas of the company, activities were completely interrupted, so employees were sent back home.
Yet another demonstration of how important it is to keep computer systems updated, the latest updates, and thorough security measures in private companies.
