Coca-Cola has confirmed that a ransomware attack has crippled its dairy production system, leaving the company to say that it will remain suspended in the United States.
The attack is believed to have targeted Coca-Cola's Fairlife brand, which produces a range of dairy-based products including ice cream and frozen yogurt. The firm claims that despite efforts to resolve the issue, its systems remain offline as part of an effort to protect customer data.
As a result, customers using these products will not be able to purchase them for the foreseeable future. Coca-Cola says it is working closely with cybersecurity experts to identify the source of the attack and prevent further disruptions to its operations. The company has been urging consumers to take steps to protect themselves against similar attacks in the future.
