A cyberattack on JBS SA, the largest meat producer globally, has forced the shutdown of some of world’s largest slaughterhouses, and there are signs that the closures are spreading.

JBS’s five biggest beef plants in the U.S. -- which altogether handle 22,500 cattle a day -- have halted processing following a weekend attack on the company’s computer networks, according to JBS posts on Facebook, labor unions and employees. Those outages alone have wiped out nearly a fifth of America’s production. Slaughter operations across Australia were also down, according to a trade group. One of Canada’s largest beef plants was idled for a second day.

"Ah, the joys of market “optimization and scaling”. If the big firms didn’t dominate the market, this would be a minor glitch."

"Too big to fail" actually means "too big to be accountable."

They might use computers to control temperature in the warehouses. I would not be surprised.

I'm sure there are manual controls. Sounds to me as an excuse to drive up prices.

Since they’re a global operation they should move off the internet/VPN and and use hardware encryption running AES 256. Lots of 2nd and 3rd tier foreign military have gone this route. An ISP to provide the black core network with point to point hardware encryption providing an intranet for operations. Isolating the network is the hard part. Lots of unknown endpoints in mature networks. Pretty sure there’s a guy saying “I told ya so”.

Time to become a vegetarian?

Yeah, enjoy those Beyond Burgers (use coconut oil and cocoa butter for marbling) with more saturated fat than lard or butter.

Plays right into the Globalists hands at the World Economic Forum.

At the beginning of last moth it was fuel.

Now it is meat.

See the pattern here? Who gains and who loses?

This is the World Economic’s Forum wet dream.

Notice this never happened under President Trump.

Do they process beef for Nolan Ryan’s cattle?

Do they process beef for the Amish or Mennonites or farm to table providers?

On a side note. They now have to make sure those animals have enough water and feed at the plant lots.

The finishing lots can survive for a while.

You have evidence JBS is processing all beef from the sources I listed?

“perfect illustration” of what?

Nope...time to find a local butcher. Pay a little extra, perhaps...but, you know the beef is fresher, and you can build trust with a local merchant. That may well pay dividends in the future...

JBS actually is Cargill, but thanks for trying.
