WASHINGTON, June 1, 2021 — As noted earlier today by the White House, USDA is aware of the ransomware attack against JBS, which is affecting the company’s operations, including its facilities in the United States. USDA continues to work closely with the White House, Department of Homeland Security, JBS USA and others to monitor this situation closely and offer help and assistance to mitigate any potential supply or price issues. As part of that effort, USDA has reached out to several major meat processors in the United States to ensure they are aware of the situation, encouraging them to accommodate additional capacity where possible, and to stress the importance of keeping supply moving.
USDA has also been in contact with several food, agriculture and retail organizations to underscore the importance of maintaining close communication and working together to ensure a stable, plentiful food supply. USDA will continue to encourage food and agriculture companies with operations in the United States to take necessary steps to protect their IT and supply chain infrastructure so that it is more durable, distributed and better able to withstand modern challenges, including cybersecurity threats and disruptions.

The lazy MSM keep saying it is Russia.... I have a strong reason that says they are flat wrong.
You have to understand JBS and it's global operations a bit.
Their home or hub is in Brazil. They export a lot of meat from Brazil and Argentina to guess who?
China... So why is that important? Because they are at war with Australia, over covid origins and Chinese belt and road projects in Australia. And of course they are at war with the United States as they declared they would increase nuclear weapons to take on the USA in a nuclear war. Are we idiots for not listening? Anyway, JBS suffered no troubles in South America, were the bulk of meat exports come from that go to China.. Only Australia and the USA have the issues.
My bet is they, the Chinese are behind these attacks of a pipeline and now our largest meat packer.
Russia is not the source of this. China is.....
