Qatar-based TV channel Al Jazeera has claimed all its systems, websites and social media accounts have been hit by a cyberattack.
The company said it was experiencing “systematic and continual hacking attempts” which were “gaining intensity and taking various forms”.
But a senior employee told the Reuters that the company is “combating” the onslaught and all its systems are still “operational”.
Al Jazeera is owned by Qatar’s government and funded by the Gulf state’s ruling Al Thani family.
The claim of a cyberattack comes as Qatar is embroiled in a row with fellow Arab states over allegations it supports terrorism.
