Talent Agency Hit with Malware Attack
Entertainment // Los Angeles , USA
A virus has shut down one of United Talent Agency's offices, forcing employees to work from mobile devices until the malware is contained, according to Billboard.
The malware was discovered Tuesday on the agency's LA office computers. In a statement to Billboard, agency officials said they believed no private information about the agency or its staffers had been compromised.
"UTA is engaged with top experts who have experience in these specific matters," the talent agency said in that statement. In the interim, every member of our team continues to have access to their email and phones, and the situation is being resolved."
The probe into the cyberattack is expected to be completed in the next few days, Billboard reported.
