On a global scale , cyber criminals have used ransomware to extract a king ’ s ransom from successful enterprises . It appears that they will attack any industry , worts and all , from breweries to meat processors to the entire food supply chain according to a warning from the FBI in the USA .

A surprising new target for cyber attack was revealed when cyber criminals hit Lion brewery with a ransomware attack in 2021 , just as Australia was easing COVID-19 restrictions and re-opening pubs . All beer processing systems were immediately taken offline and Lion was forced to implement manual processes to handle orders and deliveries . Earlier that same year , brewing giant Molson Coors filed an SEC

Form 8-K describing a cybersecurity incident that disrupted beer production . They hired an IT forensic firm to investigate the breach . Shipments were delayed while systems were brought back online . The Campari Group Italian beverage vendor was hit and production at Arizona Beverages was also knocked offline because of ransomware attacks . Barcelona ’ s Damm beer maker stopped production due to a cyber attack at its main brewery .

Ransomware halted meat processing at a USA plant for a day and temporarily shut down production in Australia and Canada before the ransom was finally paid . A global leader in the manufacture and distribution of agricultural machinery was hit with a ransomware attack in May 2022 . Data was stolen and the full extent of the damage has not been determined . p
