LOS ANGELES, June 9 (Xinhua) Major meat producer JBS USA confirmed on Wednesday that the company paid an equivalent of 11 million U.S. dollars in ransom in response to the criminal hack against its operations last week. JBS USA, with headquarters in Greeley, Colorado, had to temporarily halt production at its beef plants across the country following the ransomware attack, as its computer systems in North America and Australia were severely affected by the attack. The company said in a statement Wednesday that the vast majority of the company s facilities were operational at the time of payment.
The Australian Federal Police, along with the FBI, created a company called ANOM that sold over 12,000 encrypted devices to criminal syndicates operating in over 100 countries.
American and Australian governemnt forces worked together to arrest hundreds of cybercriminals allegedly involved with illegally reading encrypted messages. Officials monitored an encrypted app the criminals used to carry out "Operation Ironside."
