    Ransomware attack on Alliance Distribution Services disrupts Australian book supply chain

    A ransomware attack on Alliance Distribution Services (ADS), the distribution subsidiary of Hachette Australia, disrupted national book supply chains in the lead-up to the Christmas trading period. Hachette Australia said unauthorised activity on ADS computer systems was believed to have occurred on July 18. As of August 27, the company had not confirmed a timeline for restoring full operations, and whether a ransomware payment was made has not been publicly disclosed. Independent booksellers and authors without a direct policy relationship with ADS absorbed income losses.
