A week later, Ireland's national healthcare system, the HSE, suffered a Conti ransomware attack that severely disrupted health services throughout the country.
More recently, it is suspected that the REvil ransomware operation is behind a ransomware attack on FUJIFILM. The JBS ransomware attack.
The JBS ransomware attack occurred in the early morning hours of Sunday, May 31st, causing JBS to shut down its network to prevent the spread of the attack.
BleepingComputer has contacted JBS with further questions about the attack but has not received a reply.
