The Anubis ransomware gang has claimed responsibility for the cyberattack on Coca-Cola's Fairlife dairy subsidiary, threatening to publish allegedly stolen corporate data unless the company pays a ransom.
Fairlife is one of Coca-Cola's dairy brands and produces a range of ultra-filtered milk products, protein shakes, and nutrition drinks sold throughout the United States. The company's product lineup includes Ultra-Filtered Milk, Core Power Protein Shakes, and Nutrition Plan.
On July 16, The Coca-Cola Company disclosed that a ransomware attack had disrupted Fairlife's operations, forcing the company to suspend production at its U.S. facilities.
The company said attackers gained unauthorized access to a portion of Fairlife's systems, including production-related systems, prompting it to activate its incident response and business continuity plans. Coca-Cola also said product quality and safety were not affected and that Canadian production operations continued as normal.
At the time, Coca-Cola had not disclosed whether data was stolen, whether it had received an extortion demand, or which ransomware operation was responsible for the attack.
