Cybersecurity: Beyond ransomware: securing the digital food chain

摘要: In May 2021, the world's largest meat processor, JBS Foods, paid $11 million in Bitcoin to a ransomware gang known as REvil, following a cyberattack that forced JBS to halt operation in 13 of its U.S. beef processing plants. When Andre Nogueira, CEO of JBS USA, confirmed the ransom payment, he said JBS did so to mitigate damage to supply chain partners, including restaurants, grocery stores, distributors, and ranchers.
