World’s Largest Meat Supplier Hit By Massive Cyberattack: Work has stopped at several U.S. meat processing plants after JBS, the world's largest meat producer, was hit with a major cyberattack which forced it to cease cattle-slaughtering operations at 13 of its meat processing plants in the U.S. on Tuesday. This incident came just three weeks after the Colonial Pipeline hack disrupted fuel operations in the U.S.
Wow, kinda makes you wonder, just who in the hell would wanna attack a meatpacking plant? Could it have been hamburglars? Now, cybersecurity experts are claiming it was the Russians, but why would they go after a meat supplier? I mean, is it possible that Vladimir Putin and the Russians have gone vegan, and this is their way of promoting living a much healthier lifestyle for our planet?
Frankly, this really boggles the mind. I mean, meat plants really use computers? Who knew? Then perhaps it’s time to spend a few of those corporate profits and upgrade those servers from DOS 8.0. Wonder how the hackers enticed JBS employees to let them into their network in the first place? My guess is, they sent out a phishing email - with links to coupons for free samples of Impossible Burgers.
But, all of that aside, I think these greedy corporate meat suppliers need to start looking at this “hacking” as a great business opportunity. I mean, if “Big Oil” can get hacked and then jack up the price of a gallon of gas by nearly 30% overnight, why shouldn’t meat suppliers be allowed to run the same scam also? After all, America is a nation based on fairness isn’t it?
