A cyber attack that crippled production at JBS SA’s Australian operations has begun to affect its North American facilities as well. Two shifts at one of its largest Canadian plants were canceled, as were some of the shifts in its U.S. plants. Some facilities are operating as normal, reports Bloomberg News.
JBS issued the following statement: “On Sunday, May 30, JBS USA determined that it was the target of an organized cybersecurity attack, affecting some of the servers supporting its North American and Australian IT systems. The company took immediate action, suspending all affected systems, notifying authorities and activating the company's global network of IT professionals and third-party experts to resolve the situation. The company’s backup servers were not affected, and it is actively working with an Incident Response firm to restore its systems as soon as possible.
