"A cyber attack on one of the country's major publishing distributors has left
bookshops and authors struggling to fill their shelves in the lead-up to their
busiest trading period.
Hachette Australia said unauthorised activity on the computer systems of its
distribution subsidiary, Alliance Distribution Services (ADS), was believed to
have occurred on July 18.
The incident has severely disrupted the distribution of titles by Hachette's
authors across Australia, with independent bookstores unable to fill shelves as
they prepare to order stock leading up to its high-demand Christmas period."
