GoKawiilThe Coca-Cola Company disclosed today that a ransomware attack impacting its Fairlife dairy subsidiary has disrupted operations, temporarily suspending production of Fairlife products across the United States.
In a Form 8-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Coca-Cola said Fairlife detected unauthorized access to some of its systems, including its production-related systems, in connection with a ransomware attack.
"After detecting the issue, the Company promptly activated its incident response and business continuity protocols," Coca-Cola said in the filing.
"The Company's investigation and assessment of the impact of the incident is ongoing, with the assistance of outside advisors and cybersecurity experts. The Company has also notified law enforcement."
The company said product quality and safety have not been affected by the ransomware attack.
However, it confirmed that production at Fairlife's U.S. facilities has been temporarily suspended while the company responds to the incident and restores impacted systems.
Canadian production operations are not currently affected.
Coca-Cola says it is working to restore affected systems and resume operations, but the full impact of the incident is being investigated.
Due to this, it has not yet been determined whether the cyberattack is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company
