JBS

JBS, one of the world's largest meat producers, was hit by a ransomware attack in 2021, which resulted in the temporary shutdown of its operations across multiple countries, including the United States. The attack caused significant disruptions to the supply chain, resulting in delays in meat processing and distribution, and raised concerns about the security of critical infrastructure in the food industry. The company reportedly paid an $11 million ransom to restore its systems. The impact of the attack was not just operational but also financial, with substantial costs incurred for recovery and ransom payment, alongside potential long-term reputational damage.
