Cyber attack hits world s largest meat supplier
A ransomware attack on one of the largest meat producers in the world was likely from a criminal organization in Russia, the White House said.
JBS USA said it was attacked on Sunday and fixing the problem will take time. The company’s IT systems in North America and Australia were targeted.
JBS USA issued this statement:
“The company is not aware of any evidence at this time that any customer, supplier or employee data has been compromised or misused as a result of the situation. Resolution of the incident will take time, which may delay certain transactions with customers and suppliers.”
