Media giant Nine Entertainment Co has requested the assistance of the Australian Signals Directorate after a major cyberattack hit its broadcast systems in the early hours of Sunday morning.

As Nine worked to resolve the issue, Australian Parliament was also investigating a potential cyberattack in Canberra on Sunday evening, which is affecting government issued smartphones and tablets.

Government MP Andrew Hastie said on Sunday night he was “not surprised” about the attack, which caused problems with Nine’s live broadcasting operations, and said it was a warning to all businesses that they need to be aware of potential threats.

In other, completely unrelated news -

Nine’s program Under Investigation has been working on a story that looks at Russian president Vladimir Putin’s campaign of chemical assassination and Russia’s development of banned poisons.
