Full breach record for Lee Enterprises, Incorporated →Lee Enterprises filed an 8-K/A (Amendment No. 1) supplementing its February 14, 2025 disclosure of a February 3, 2025 cybersecurity attack in which threat actors accessed its network, encrypted critical applications, and exfiltrated files. The threat has been contained; back-office functions (billing, collections, vendor payments) remain delayed. Investigation into whether PII was taken is ongoing.
