By Andrea Shalal WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A ransomware attack on JBS, the world's largest meatpacker, by a criminal group likely based in Russia has strengthened the Biden administration's resolve to hold Moscow responsible for costly cyber assaults - even if they are not directly linked to the Kremlin.

"President Biden certainly thinks that President Putin and the Russian...

JBS workers set to return as White House blames Russia over hack By Reuters

Posted by admin

in News

By Nandita Bose and Tom Polansek WASHINGTON/CHICAGO (Reuters) - JBS SA employees were scheduled to return to U.S. meat plants on Wednesday, a day after the company's beef operations stopped following a ransomware attack. A notorious Russia-linked hacking group is behind the cyberattack against JBS that disrupted meat production in North America and Australia, a source familiar with the matter said. Brazil's JBS controls about 20% of the slaughtering capacity for U.S. cattle and hogs, so the plants' reopening should prevent a severe supply chain disruption at a time consumers are already facing high meat...

in News

By Dhara Ranasinghe and Abhinav Ramnarayan LONDON (Reuters) - Investors are piling into bonds offering protection from rising consumer prices as they brace for the strongest period of global inflation in more than a decade, but could the market be overplaying the risk of a price surge?

Posted by admin

in News

By Tom Arnold LONDON (Reuters) - As the Israeli-Palestinian conflict's bloodiest chapter in years played out last month, the world's biggest sovereign wealth fund said it was dropping two Israeli companies from its investment portfolio on humanitarian grounds. Acting on a recommendation by the $1.3 trillion Norwegian fund's ethics committee made in late 2020, the timing of that announcement was a coincidence. But coming during an 11-day battle in which hundreds of Palestinians died, it offered a brutal reminder of the ethical choices that global investors must make in exchange for parking money in a country...
