This JBS hack is looking really bad. Meat plants in both Canada and Australia have been shut down. And according to labor representatives, shifts are starting to get canceled at meat plants in the US. https://www.bloomberg.com/... https://twitter.com/...

I've already seen some meat jokes this morning, but let's look at the JBS ransomware through another lens: shift workers. These are people who depend on hours to pay rent and other necessities. There are people hurt in every one of these attacks. https://www.nbcwashington.com/ ..…

Two big lessons from the massive economic disruptions caused by meat and pipeline companies ransomware hackings: 1) Companies don't take security seriously until it's too late. 2) We need to break up monopolies and super-concentrated industries, to protect society.

First it was the hospitals during a global pandemic. Then it was energy supply (pipeline). Now it's our food security (JBS). Enough is enough. Ransomware is now one of our top national security threats. 1/3

The U.S. meat industry is so consolidated that with JBS basically offline due to a cyberattack, the USDA can't publish wholesale price data without potentially revealing proprietary information about JBS's competitors https://www.bloomberg.com/... via @mhirtz

We also need to apply significant pressure on countries harboring these criminals and offering them safe haven (primarily Russia). We need to demand immediate arrests and prosecutions 3/3

Updates on the JBS incident: - The company said a ransom demand came from “a criminal organization, likely based in Russia,” per the White House. - The company is mostly quiet. Much of what we know is from union officials and industry trade publications. https://www.cyberscoop.co…
