The meat production industry in the U.S. was rocked this week when a massive cyber attack shut down the operation of JBS, the world’s largest meat supplier.

Although some of JBS’s systems were back online Tuesday and Wednesday, the cyber attack (thought to have originated from a criminal organization likely based in Russia) forced the company ― which operates pork, poultry and beef plants worldwide ― to suspend operations at nine beef processing plants across the U.S. due to ransomware.

Although you may not see a shortage of meat or a drastic increase in prices at the store, the ransomware attack on the livestock industry will have a long-lasting ripple effect on how we process and buy our meat.
