Hackers hit Australian meatworks giant

Australian authorities are part of an international hunt for cyber criminals who've shut down the nation's largest meat and food processing company, JBS Foods.

JBS facilities in other countries have also been hit in a cyber attack that could affect meat supply chains world wide.

Agriculture Minister David Littleproud says the federal government is doing all it can to get Australian abattoirs functioning again, and to limit effects on domestic supply and export markets.

The company has 47 facilities across Australia, including abattoirs and feed lots.

Mr Littleproud says it's too soon to say who might be behind the attack which shut down computer systems including those that deal with quality control.

Looks like less meat for a while in Oz.

I guess the Russian hackers are jealous of the Australian barbie.

This crap is not going to stop until some blood is shed. Forget the authorities. The companies should hire black ops to track down the perps and leave them hanging on meat hooks for news orginazations and authorities to find.

Aint funny. Back a while ago they said that some fast food chains had got Joey meat from that way.

Besides all this. Maybe they might think on going back to the tried and true methods of doing business. Without IT.
