Following the hack, JBS reportedly had to halt operations at its five largest beef plants in the US as well as some other facilities. The five plants together reportedly process 22,500 cattle per day. Some plants in Australia were also reportedly impacted. While the full extent of the damage is unknown, JBS said in a statement that its backup servers were unaffected and customer data secured.
The plant closures prompted concerns about possible meat shortages. On Tuesday, the US Department of Agriculture said it was monitoring the situation closely and was prepared to "offer help and assistance to mitigate any potential supply or price issues."

Cyber security is a top priority of corporate America, perhaps second to being woke, maybe they should wise up and focus on the important stuff.
They had backups. Except for extreme advanced persistent threats (APTs), with ransomware, backups are the fastest recovery vector. No payment required as long as their recovery point objective is near term.
Not sure if I want any BS meat.
Missing a letter in the title?...................
Hacked by social engineering to Kevin Mitnick way
Good grief!!
Hire a bunch of 4-6 year old kids to run the System Security...
Absent government help to investigate or the guts to track down and kill the perps, hot backup is the way to go.
oops.My copy and paste went wrong. haha
Could be the whole thing is a lotta bull.
Ok, which stock do I buy to invest in the coming server boom?
Backups eh? I was ridiculed here on FR for questioning why there were no backup systems for the gasoline pipeline. I was told that isn’t how things are done now. I declared that having a ‘single point of failure’, in the context of system security requirements, was an unacceptable architecture - only to be told I was wrong and that I didn’t understand that term.
Huh.
#BlueScreenBill is swearing up a storm right now... “How did they keep the backups from becoming infected!!! I had it all planned!!”
The problem is that APTs can very easily salt the ransomware into backed up data if undetected for a period of time. If it’s date/time triggered, recovering from a backup can mean an endless loop of infection.
I bet you can’t guess who Biden says “done it”?
White supremacists did it!
One word: “PC-matic”. 💰🙌
Nope, it is Russia, Russia, Russia again. The left likes to blame Russia because they get away with it every time.
