Australian and North American units of the world's largest meat works were hit over the weekend by an organised cyber attack on its information systems, Brazil's JBS SA (JBSS3.SA) said in a statement.
The attack caused its Australian operations to shut down on Monday. The company said it was working to resolve the incident.
"On Sunday, May 30, JBS USA determined that it was the target of an organised cybersecurity attack, affecting some of the servers supporting its North American and Australian IT systems," it said in a statement released Monday afternoon, U.S. time. "Resolution of the incident will take time, which may delay certain transactions with customers and suppliers."
