They weren’t doing this with Trump in office.

There is no excuse for this. Some IT controls and discipline within the organization is all that it takes to stop it. For example lockdown the ability for a user to start any unapproved “.exe” file. It is also a necessary move to segregate “process” and “business” systems from each other.

Never had this problem before the internet. There were large corporations, people got paid, things got shipped etc.

I think someone in AMERICA did this....someone like Bill Gates or someone who wanted people to BLAME “Russian Hackers” for HIGHER prices for gas and meat instead of blaming Biden Admin!!

We rely much too much on electronics on this planet. One good solar flare and huge EMP and it will all be fried.
Last time I look it didn’t take any electronics to raise butcher or sell meat animals.
Im not a luddite but we rely way too much on things that we have a tenuous hold on.

JBS, which spends more than $200m (£141m) on IT and employs more than 850 tech specialists...

None of whom apparently know the first thing about hardening their infrastructure against a ransomware attack. Apparently no offline backups and no secured admin access to servers.

Interesting. Priced right so that the cost of shutdown far exceeds the ransom. Gubermints may be able to take the stand that they don't negotiate with terrorists (except for Øbama/Xiden), but businesses don't have that luxury. Just part of the new cost of doing business, I guess. Watch for cybercrime risk to be added to 10-K reports.

It’s nothing to make a system attack-proof but nobody wants to pay up front. They deserve what they get.

I pay about $100 for anti-virus and anti-spyware programs.
I also back up my files automatically.
I wonder what if they let slip their subscriptions to these programs and forgot about backups?
