Ransomware Attack Halts Coca-Cola's Fairlife Dairy Production
Coca-Cola has told the SEC that a ransomware attack disrupted Fairlife and temporarily suspended production at its US facilities. Fairlife detected unauthorized access to some systems, including infrastructure connected to manufacturing. The company activated incident-response and business-continuity procedures while bringing in outside specialists and notifying law enforcement. Coca-Cola says product quality and safety were not affected. It has not disclosed whether data was stolen, who carried out the attack or whether a ransom demand was made. Why it matters: an operational shutdown is different from evidence of an unsafe product. The confirmed report says production stopped while systems are restored, but it does not say Fairlife milk or nutrition drinks became unsafe.
