Coca-Cola Restores Most Production Capacity at Fairlife After Ransomware Attack
Coca-Cola announced that most production has resumed at its U.S.-based Fairlife dairy facilities following a ransomware attack earlier in July. The cyberattack, attributed to the Anubis ransomware-as-a-service group, led to data theft and system disruptions but did not significantly impact retail availability of products due to existing inventory levels. The hackers claimed responsibility for locking servers and stealing up to 1TB of data from Fairlife's systems. They threatened to leak information if their demands were unmet, though the specifics remain undisclosed. Coca-Cola has not revealed how it restored operations or how the attackers gained access but stated that the Canadian business was unaffected. Coca-Cola emphasized that the incident is unlikely to have a material impact on its financial performance despite Fairlife being a significant revenue-generating unit for the company.
