Cyber Attack Halts Coca Cola Dairy Production

Cyber Attack Halts Coca Cola Dairy Production

Source: Bloomberg

Summary

Coca Cola’s Fairlife dairy unit has suspended production in the US due to a cyber attack. The company announced the halt in production, but did not provide further details on the nature of the hack or when operations would resume. The incident is the latest in a series of high-profile cyber attacks on major companies.


Our Reading

The announcement sounds ambitious, if only because it’s not clear how a hack would affect milk production.

Fairlife, a Coca Cola subsidiary, is still trying to recover from the cyber attack. The company has not disclosed what data was compromised or how the hack occurred. Meanwhile, dairy production remains on hold. Because, apparently, even cows need cybersecurity.

Original observation: When did milk become a high-tech product?
