The world’s largest meat-supplying company, JBS, has paid an US$11-million ransom to cybercriminals who last week hacked the company’s computer network, causing operations in Australia, Canada and the United States to temporarily shut down.

Last week, JBS operations were temporarily shut in Australia, Canada and the US, affecting thousands of workers.

The Brazilian meat company told the US that a ransomware attack on its computer networks originated from a criminal organisation likely based in Russia, Al Jazeera reported. “Following the money remains one of the most basic yet powerful tools we have,” said Deputy Attorney-General Lisa Monaco for the US Department of Justice.
