Hacked Meat Producer Resumes Most Production

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) – The world’s largest meat processing company has resumed most production after a weekend cyberattack, but experts say the vulnerabilities exposed by this attack and others are far from resolved. A person familiar with the investigation says JBS notified the U.S. government the ransom demand came from the ransomware gang REvil, which is believed to operate in Russia. Ransomware expert Allan Liska says the attack on JBS was the largest yet on a food manufacturer. But he said at least 40 food companies have been targeted by hackers over the last year, including brewer Molson Coors and E & J Gallo Winery.
