Coca-Cola says fairlife resumes production at 4 US plants

Coca-Cola on Monday said its dairy company, fairlife, resumed most of the production at four US facilities, where operations were halted after unauthorized third-party access on some systems, reports Reuters.

Fairlife, earlier this month, joined companies grappling with a surge in AI-driven cyberattacks and ransomware that steal sensitive data and ?disrupt operations, leading to a halt in domestic production.

The Chicago-based company launched an investigation with the help of external cybersecurity experts and advisers; Coca-Cola, which wholly owns fairlife, had said product quality and safety had not been affected by the incident.

Hacking gang Anubis claimed credit for the hack on Tuesday, and said it had stolen 1 terabyte of data from fairlife.

The beverages giant said fairlife was working to restore impacted systems and operations; existing inventory helped maintain retail availability of products.
