A Page Turning Crisis: The Cyberattack on Australia's Book Industry A call to my local bookstore revealed that their shipment of new titles had still not arrived nearly two weeks after the expected delivery date.
This was a common experience for many Australian bookshops and authors, who were struggling with the aftermath of the cyberattack on Hachette Australia.
The disruption was staggering in scale, given that Hachette's own distribution arm, Alliance Distribution Services (ADS), shipped over 16. 5 million titles last year.
