https://i0.wp.com/radioinsight.com/wp-content/images/2019/12/skyview.png?resize=200%2C200&ssl=1Skyview Networks has notified its affiliates that some of its programming services are unavailable due to “unauthorized access to its IT environment, resulting in interrupted technical services”.
The issue has affected the delivery of multiple programs and services including both CBS News and ABC News. Skyview has told stations not to reboot their XDS receivers as affiliates have lost their configurations in doing so. CBS News on Monday told affiliates that Skyview was having a technical issue that resulted in limitations in distributing live CBS News content including newscasts and the World News Roundup. They are delivering some news on an alternate channel without tones or cues. Other Skyview systems have also been impacted.
XDS Receiver Advisory
Skyview Networks experienced unauthorized access to its IT environment, resulting in interrupted technical services. Immediately upon learning of the incident, Skyview activated its comprehensive incident response plan. We have initiated advanced monitoring and threat detection across our systems and data. We have also engaged third party forensic experts to help us contain and investigate the incident. These efforts are fully underway.
IMPORTANT:
During this undetermined period of time, it is advised NOT to reboot your XDS receiver.
Please reach out to affiliaterelations@skyviewsat.com if you have any questions.
We apologize for the disruption this has caused.
