All of the company’s fed-beef and regional beef plants were forced to shutter, and all other JBS meatpacking facilities in the country experienced some level of disruption to operations, according to an official with the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union. JBS didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. The union represents workers at the company’s plants in the U.S. Slaughter operations across Australia were also down, according to a trade group, and one of Canada’s largest beef plants was idled. That comes after a weekend attack on the Brazilian company’s computer networks, according to JBS posts on Facebook, labor unions and employees. It’s unclear exactly how many plants globally have been affected by the ransomware attack as Sao Paulo-based JBS has yet to release those details. The prospect of more extensive shutdowns worldwide is already upending agricultural markets and raising concerns about food security as hackers increasingly target critical infrastructure. Livestock futures slumped, while pork prices rose. Hackers now have the commodities industry in their crosshairs with the JBS attack coming just three weeks after Colonial Pipeline Co., operator of the biggest U.S. gasoline pipeline, was targeted in a ransomware attack. It also happened as the global meat industry battles lingering Covid-19 absenteeism after recovering from outbreaks last year that saw plants shut and supplies disrupted. |

| #8 Besoeker.... "Georgia election site "water main leak" denier as well." ☺ Plus not buying the story the Fulton co. Voter Ballot guards just happened to be Police working "specials"" and just happened to decide to take a break, just before the warehouse was compromised and all the video cameras malfunctioned either. ☺ BTW: Fulton must have the best janitors in the world. Because not single a drop of Water was found after the break was "quickly repaired" |

| #3 Let us start the guessing game of the next ‘Russian’ hacker target. The most recent has been gas pipeline and now meat packing. My guess is a timber company. |

| #2 /\ Still not buying the "official" explanation and narrative for the pipeline hack and neither this one. I suspect you are a Georgia election site "water main leak" denier as well. |

| #1 Still not buying the "official" explanation and narrative for the pipeline hack and neither this one. Basically it both check off Socialist-Democrat Special Interest Group demands (OIL & MEAT vs. Climate Change and Veggies voters). |
