澳大利亚第三大贸易出版社Hachette在7月18日遭遇网络攻击，其计算机系统受到严重破坏1。这次事件对旗下的联盟配送服务造成重创，影响了众多书店和作者的图书获取，特别是在圣诞购物季临近之际，给整个澳洲书业造成重大困扰1。Hachette首席执行官Louise Stark表示，"尚未能确认完全恢复正常运营的时间表"1。
联盟配送服务去年配送超过1650万册图书1，其受损对产业链的打击尤为明显。为缓解危机，Hachette已向Booktopia提供约1000册图书库存作为临时措施1。
澳大利亚作家协会首席执行官Lucy Hayward对此表达了关切，指出"作者是出版商的商业合作伙伴，应该得到相应对待"1。
Australian publisher Hachette fell victim to a cyberattack on July 18, crippling its computer systems and triggering widespread disruption across the country's publishing sector 1. The incident severely damaged the company's supply chain and distribution operations, preventing bookshops and authors from accessing inventory during a critical period ahead of the Christmas shopping season 1.
As the country's third-largest trade publisher, Hachette's Alliance Distribution Services—which shipped over 16.5 million books last year—became inaccessible following the breach 1. The outage left numerous retailers and writers scrambling for stock. Hachette CEO Louise Stark acknowledged the severity of the situation, stating that the company had "not yet been able to confirm a timeframe for full operational recovery" 1. In response to the crisis, Hachette provided approximately 1,000 books to Booktopia as a temporary measure 1.
Authors have expressed frustration with their treatment during the recovery process. Lucy Hayward, chief executive of the Australian Society of Authors, emphasized that "authors are commercial partners of publishers and should be treated as such" 1. Affected titles include works by prominent authors such as Maggie O'Farrell's Land and David Sedaris's The Land and Its People 1.
