JBS, the world's largest beef producer, has confirmed that all its global facilities are fully operational and operate at normal capacity after the REvil ransomware attack that hit its systems last weekend.
On May 31, JBS was also forced to shut down production after REvil ransomware operators breached and encrypted some of its North American and Australian IT system.
The FBI confirmed the REvil ransomware operation is behind the JBS ransomware attack on Wednesday.
The attack on JBS follows another major ransomware incident that forced Colonial Pipeline to shut down the largest US pipeline and pay a $5 million ransom.
"As a result, JBS USA and Pilgrim's were able to limit the loss of food produced during the attack to less than one days' worth of production."
After the JBS REvil ransomware attack, the White House has also urged business leaders and corporate executives to take ransomware attacks seriously.
