Weather Network app can't send alerts after cyberattack but Alert Ready working
BNN Bloomberg
The Weather Network and MétéoMédia still can't send weather alerts through push notifications from its app following a "malicious cyberattack" on Monday.
But Pelmorex, the parent company of the two weather services, says the attack is not affecting the Alert Ready system it runs to send emergency notifications to cellphones when dangerous weather is imminent.
On Sept. 11, the attack took down at least part of the The Weather Network and the two websites are still not providing full weather data four days later.
The sites have restored the current temperature and forecast data, but other information such as whether it's sunny, cloudy or raining right now, are missing.
