The Herald is experiencing technical difficulties

To our readers:

The Herald's computerized operating systems were the target this week of a sophisticated cyberattack. We are working to resolve the issues, but in the meantime, this week's newspaper is smaller than normal and the design has been streamlined in response to the technological challenges.

Because of the problems, delivery of this week's newspaper was delayed a day.

The technical issues also shut down our phone system, including the line to our Customer Service Department. If you need to get in touch, please email circulation@dailyherald.com.

As always, up-to-the-minute news and advertising is available on our website, and we encourage you to make use of it.

It is difficult to tell how long the newspaper will be affected, but we're working tirelessly to address the challenges and hope to be back at full strength and on our usual Thursday delivery day next week.

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience.
