Coca-Cola suspended production at its Fairlife dairy after a ransomware attack

可口可乐因勒索软件攻击暂停其 Fairlife 乳制品工厂生产

U.S. beverage maker Coca-Cola said one of its dairy subsidiaries was hacked and that it’s shutting down its operations for the foreseeable future. 美国饮料制造商可口可乐公司表示，其旗下的一家乳制品子公司遭到黑客攻击，目前已关闭相关业务，恢复时间尚不确定。

The multinational giant said in a disclosure with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that its Fairlife dairy company was hit by ransomware and that its production systems are affected. 这家跨国巨头在向美国证券交易委员会提交的披露文件中称，其 Fairlife 乳制品公司遭到了勒索软件攻击，生产系统受到影响。

The company said that its Fairlife production operations across the United States are “temporarily suspended.” Fairlife’s operations in Canada are unaffected. 该公司表示，其在美国各地的 Fairlife 生产业务已“暂时中止”。Fairlife 在加拿大的业务未受影响。

Coca-Cola is one of the largest companies in the world, with products spanning carbonated drinks, water, and dairy products. Its Fairlife dairy is one of the company’s major brands, with an estimated $4 billion in sales by 2024. 可口可乐是全球最大的公司之一，产品涵盖碳酸饮料、水和乳制品。其 Fairlife 乳制品是该公司的主要品牌之一，预计到 2024 年销售额将达到 40 亿美元。

Ransomware attacks on food and beverage companies can have lasting effects. Past incidents at Arizona Beverages in 2019 and food distributor giant UNFI last year resulted in weeks-long disruptions to their respective production lines and empty grocery shelves. 针对食品和饮料公司的勒索软件攻击可能会产生持久的影响。2019 年亚利桑那饮料公司（Arizona Beverages）和去年食品分销巨头 UNFI 发生的类似事件，都导致了其生产线长达数周的中断，并造成了杂货店货架空置。

Coca-Cola didn’t say when Fairlife’s systems would be restored. 可口可乐并未说明 Fairlife 的系统何时能够恢复。
