GREEN BAY, Wisconsin JBS officials have confirmed the company was targeted of an organized cybersecurity attack.
The confirmation was made in a company issued statement late Monday afternoon.
According to the meat producing company, they became aware of the attack on Sunday. It affected some of the servers which support its North American and Australian IT systems.
While company officials began suspending all affected systems while also calling upon a list of IT professionals and experts to help resolve the situation, the company states it is currently working with an Incident Response firm to restore its systems.
The fix for this attack will take time to reach, and it may delay some transactions with customers and suppliers.
JBS says it isn’t aware of any customer, supplier, or employee data which was compromised or misused due to the situation. JBS has announced its Green Bay facility will not have production on Tuesday, June 1. It was not immediately clarified if the closure was directly related to the cybersecurity attack.
