ALMA Services Affected by Cyberattack | Last Saturday, October 29, at 6:14 AM, the ALMA observatory in Chile suffered a cyberattack on its computer systems, forcing the suspension of astronomical observations and the public website.

Sadly, this means that astronomic observations with ALMA are currently suspended. "ALMA Services Affected by Cyberattack": bit.ly/3FCNSAo
