Hacker gang takes credit for halting popular's milk production

A hacking crew known as Anubis has claimed responsibility for an alleged Fairlife ransomware attack, prompting Coca-Cola to pause U.S. production of the brand’s milk products. Reuters reports the group made the claim on the dark web this past Tuesday, and a Fairlife press release dated July 16 said a third party gained unauthorized access to “a portion of” Fairlife systems, including those tied to production. Coca-Cola said law enforcement had been notified and that an investigation is underway. The company stated that product quality and safety “have not been impacted,” but production operations at Fairlife in the United States are temporarily suspended. Fairlife’s Canada production operations are not currently affected. The Hacker News says Anubis, previously known as “Sphinx,” emerged in late 2024. Reuters adds the group threatened to publish a claimed one terabyte of stolen data unless a ransom is paid, though the amount has not been disclosed.
