CNS patches security vulnerability following mass signal hijack

MANHATTAN - Following a major cyber security incident last week, the Colony News Service has issued an apology and implemented wide-ranging technical improvements. An unaddressed vulnerability had allowed unknown parties to access the distribution system used to provide news hosting services to stations across Sirius. As a result, routine broadcasting was interrupted and replaced with a malicious signal. The incident has been referred to the Liberty Security Force, who are now investigating the situation as a matter of significant concern. Despite this, the agency has remained tight lipped about the identity or motives of potential suspects. Moving forwar;;;;ERR 7 DAYS HAVE PASSED. FOR CENTURIES THE JUMP GATE HAS CONNECTED THE COLONIES. AGEIRA HAS GUARDED THE SECRETS OF THE GATES LIKE A DRAGON HOARDS ITS WEALTH.

Despite this, network hardening activities undertaken by CNS will prevent the exploitation of the underlying vulnerability that enabled the initial incident.
