The Small Press Distribution (SPD) website experienced a denial-of-service attack on Friday, disabling the site, ordering system, and email communications. No customer data or private information was compromised, the company said, and the website was back up and running on Sunday evening. Executive director Kent Watson stated, “This attack comes at a very busy time as SPD continues to pick, pack, and ship books for hundreds of presses. Senseless acts like this harm independent publishers, booksellers, and readers.”
