Stop this shit before they take down our power grids or worse
Millions of poor cows/bulls/calves breathed a sigh of relief while having their lives extended a few extra days giving them a chance to say final goodbyes to their loved ones. It's time we move to plant-based meat.
Why are these systems online? They should be operated on an intranet. If it already is, then it's an inside job. It's not possible that the attacks can be so precise and so effective without inside knowledge about the network structure. Shutting down these hacker networks is one thing, but the more important task is perhaps finding the mole.
the problem is that no one knows where they are.
So the cattle feeder can check his Instagram or online betting...
Um, NO! Gimme my burgers!
Or get to the ground of a lot of questions : how and where did the Wuhan virus really originate? Who takes out our power grids? Hacks our largest technology corporations? Takes beef offline? Are you seriously thinking those are isolated incidents by a few hacking groups with pecuniary motivations? Then you are more naive than the response to my previous post.
How about starting with hiring real hotshots into the espionage and surveillance units to gather evidence. You know, the same guys who usually take high paid jobs at high tech firms, never saw a need to go to college and wrote great code at the age of 12 when other kids still played with dolls and discovered their penises. Because if we had any of them working for our government, meaning for us taxpayers, then we would have conclusive evidence that would answer a lot of pressing questions. But perhaps the proof is there but is being suppressed by a certain minority at the top that tries everything in order to not rattle the cage?

US says ransomware attack on meatpacker JBS likely from Russia

Chicago | Brazil’s JBS told the US government that a ransomware attack on the company that has disrupted meat production in North America and Australia originated from a criminal organisation likely based in Russia, the White House said on Tuesday.
JBS is the world’s largest meatpacker and the cyberattack caused its Australian operations to shut down on Monday and has stopped livestock slaughter at its plants in several US states.

The attack follows one last month by a group with ties to Russia on Colonial Pipeline, the largest fuel pipeline in the United States, that crippled fuel delivery for several days in the US south-east.
White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said the United States has contacted Russia’s government about the matter and that the FBI is investigating.
“The White House has offered assistance to JBS and our team at the Department of Agriculture have spoken to their leadership several times in the last day,” Jean-Pierre said.
“JBS notified the administration that the ransom demand came from a criminal organisation likely based in Russia. The White House is engaging directly with the Russian government on this matter and delivering the message that responsible states do not harbor ransomware criminals,” Jean-Pierre added.
JBS sells beef and pork under the Swift brand, with retailers like Costco Wholesale Corp carrying its pork loins and tenderloins. JBS also owns most of chicken processor Pilgrim’s Pride Co, which sells organic chicken under the Just Bare brand.
If the outages continue, American consumers could see higher meat prices during summer grilling season and meat exports could be disrupted at a time of strong demand from China.
The disruption has already had an impact, industry analysts said. US meatpackers slaughtered 94,000 cattle on Tuesday, down 22 per cent from a week earlier and 18 per cent from a year earlier, according to estimates from the US Department of Agriculture. Pork processors slaughtered 390,000 hogs, down 20 per cent from a week ago and 7 per cent from a year ago.
Prices for choice cuts of US beef shipped to wholesale buyers in large boxes jumped $US3.59 to $US334.56 per hundred pounds, the USDA said. Prices for select cuts climbed $US5.55 to $US306.45 per hundred pounds.
The USDA, Department of Homeland Security and other agencies are closely monitoring the meat and poultry supply, a White House official said. The agencies are also working with agricultural processors to ensure products move efficiently and that no price manipulation occurs as a result of the cyberattack, the official said.
JBS said it suspended all affected systems and notified authorities. It said its backup servers were not affected. A company representative in Sao Paulo said there was no impact on Brazilian operations.
The company said Sunday’s cyberattack affected its North American and Australian IT systems and “resolution of the incident will take time, which may delay certain transactions with customers and suppliers”.
JBS, with North American operations headquartered in Greeley, Colorado, controls about 20 per cent of the slaughtering capacity for US cattle and hogs, according to industry estimates.
“The supply chains, logistics, and transportation that keep our society moving are especially vulnerable to ransomware, where attacks on choke points can have outsized effects and encourage hasty payments,” said threat researcher John Hultquist with security company FireEye.
US beef and pork prices are already rising as China increases imports, animal feed costs rise and abbatoirs face a dearth of workers. Any further impact on consumers will depend on how long production is down, market analysts said.
“If it goes on a week or longer, you’ve got a major problem,” said Dennis Smith, broker for Archer Financial Services in Chicago.
Two kill and fabrication shifts were cancelled at JBS’s beef plant in Greeley after the cyberattack, representatives of the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union Local 7 said in an email. JBS Beef in Cactus, Texas, also said on Facebook it would not run on Tuesday.
The UFCW urged JBS to ensure workers receive their contractually guaranteed pay during the shutdowns.
JBS Canada said in a Facebook post that shifts had been cancelled at its plant in Brooks, Alberta, on Monday and one shift so far had been cancelled on Tuesday.
The United States Cattlemen’s Association, a beef industry group, said on Twitter that it had reports of JBS redirecting livestock haulers who arrived at plants with animals ready for slaughter.
Last year, cattle and hogs backed up on US farms and some animals were euthanised when meat plants were shut during coronavirus outbreaks among workers.
A JBS beef plant in Grand Island, Nebraska, said only workers in maintenance and shipping were scheduled to work on Tuesday.
Over the past few years, ransomware has evolved from one of many cybersecurity threats to a pressing national security issue. A number of gangs, many of them Russian-speakers, develop the software that encrypts files and then demand payment in cryptocurrency for keys that allow the owners to decipher and use them again.
