JBS notified the administration that the ransom demand came from a criminal organization likely based in Russia. The White House is engaging directly with the Russian government on this matter and delivering the message that responsible states do not harbor ransomware criminals,” Jean-Pierre added.

If the outages continue, consumers could see higher meat prices during summer grilling season in the United States and meat exports could be disrupted at a time of strong demand from China.

    Biden and the DEMOCRATs, in their quest to go green and raise corporate taxes, presents a far greater danger to not just the meat but any industry: A far greater threat than Russia or a band of hackers.

    Don't you see all this happening is helping Biden's 2030 U.N.agenda? It's too orchestrated to be by chance.First we get a deadly viruis for old people and others with compromised immune systems and it shuts down the whole world and kills millions while the media reports on how good it was for the environment.

    Next it's an oil pipeline shutdown and Red meat distribution.Then it could be rolling power outages to slow down consumption of goods and have medical drugs and supplies shortages to kill off a few million more. Of course Global warming and climate change will be reduced when all this happens.

    Cyber warfare is here and actively being deployed but nobody can find the culprits until they get the desired effects.

    If in fact these cyber attacks are orchestrated by a foreign government then our glorious leaders need to do something like the stuxnet virus that was used against Iran.

    If it is just organized cyber criminals then we need to hold them accountable by working with the law inforcement in the harboring countries. We should also hold the hacked companies accountable for not maintaining cyber security that is up to the task of resisting these attacks. There are countless companies and municipalities that don't even use commercially available anti-ransomwear programs. I hate to blame the victim but not protecting your cyber infrastructure is like wearing a pork chop necklace in grizzly bear country. Bob

    The media and certain government types have been promoting distrust and even war between the US and Russia ever since WWII. Trump had settled all that down as well as North Korea, and the middle east. Then along comes Mr. President with no resume and off we go gain.
