JBS shuts down North American and Australian computer networks

The attack sidelined two shifts and halted processing at one of Canada’s largest meatpacking plants, while the company canceled all beef and lamb kills across Australia, industry website Beef Central said. Some kill and fabrication shifts have also been canceled in the U.S., according to a union Facebook post.

“There are no unionized workers there,” Payne said in a phone interview. “That means effectively the plant’s operations have shut for the day.” JBS didn’t respond to requests for comment on the Canadian closure. Sao Paulo-based JBS owns facilities in 20 countries. Australia and New Zealand account for 4 per cent of the company’s revenue, while the U.S. represents 50 per cent and Canada 3 per cent, according to company fillings. The company also has operations in South America and Europe.Backup servers were not affected, and the company is actively working to restore systems as soon as possible, according to a statement from JBS USA Monday.

The Australian Cyber Security Centre is providing technical assistance to JBS, while Agriculture Minister David Littleproud has said the government is working with international partners trying to trace, rectify and prosecute where possible, those who perpetrated the attack.
