The dust hadn’t even settled on the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack—which continues to make headlines nearly a month post-mortem—when we learned of yet another massive attack impacting the meat industry. The ransomware attack on JBS Foods, the world’s largest beef and pork processor, was reportedly the work of the REvil group. As this revelation came to light, TechCrunch reported, “Japanese multinational conglomerate Fujifilm has been forced to shut down parts of its global network after falling victim to a suspected ransomware attack.”

Indeed, just about every industry has been hit with ransomware this week. The Villages Hospital was reportedly “crippled” by a ransomware attack, and island hoppers in Massachusetts are having a tough time securing ferry tickets to Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard after the Steamship Authority fell victim to ransomware. As these attacks become more prevalent, Reuters reported, “U.S. energy companies are scrambling to buy more cyber insurance...but they can expect to pay more as cyber insurers plan to hike rates following a slew of ransomware attacks.” When asked what is happening in the US, Chris Krebs told CBS This Morning, “The reality is that ransomware is a business and business is good. Until we can disrupt the profitability of the ransomware business model, these events are going to continue to happen.”

But these aren’t the only events happening in the cybersecurity industry. Let’s take a look at what else made headlines this week.
