A ransomware attack against Brazilian meat-packing giant JBS has disrupted production in the U.S., Canada and Australia. The ransomware attack follows one last month on Colonial Pipeline, the largest fuel pipeline in the U.S., which crippled fuel delivery for several days in the southeastern part of the country. JBS sells beef and pork under the Swift brand, with retailers such as Costco carrying its pork loins and tenderloins. JBS Beef in Cactus, Texas, also said on Facebook it would not run on Tuesday. A JBS beef plant in Grand Island, Neb., said only workers in maintenance and shipping were scheduled to work on Tuesday due to the attack.
