Coca-Cola disclosed to the SEC that its Fairlife dairy subsidiary was hit by ransomware, affecting production systems and forcing a temporary suspension of manufacturing across the United States. Fairlife's operations in Canada were not affected. Coca-Cola did not specify when systems would be restored, and Fairlife generated an estimated $4 billion in sales by 2024. _Security teams tracking ransomware's impact on manufacturing follow incidents like Fairlife's on daily.dev._ ### How long have past ransomware attacks disrupted food and beverage production lines?
