It looks like OP posted an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.

Maybe check out the canonical page instead: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/28/dish-network-confirms-network-outage-was-a-cybersecurity-breach.html

The acknowledgment is an evolution from last week’s earnings call, where it was described as an “internal outage.” > >Dish Networks’ website was down for multiple days beginning last week, but the company has now disclosed that “internal communications [and] customer call centers” remain affected by the breach. Dish said it had retained outside experts to assist in evaluating the problem. > >The intrusion took place on the morning of Feb. 23, the same day the company reported its fourth-quarter earnings. > >Shares dropped over 4% on the news and a double-downgrade from Bank of America.
