Coca-Cola says a ransomware incident involving its dairy subsidiary Fairlife resulted in data being stolen. Multiple outlets report that the company confirms the breach after an attack earlier this month, in which attackers gained access to systems connected to Fairlife and took customer or business data that could be eligible for publication.
SecurityWeek and other reporting also attributes the incident to the Anubis cybercrime group, which is described as taking credit for the attack. SecurityWeek reports that the group threatens to leak the stolen data, while other coverage states that Coca-Cola has confirmed the theft of data from Fairlife as part of the ransomware event.
The sources agree on the broad sequence of events: an attack occurs, Coca-Cola confirms that data was stolen from the Fairlife business, and the responsible actor is linked to ransomware activity and potential data leakage. Details such as the full scope of affected data, the number of impacted parties, and specific impacts are not consistently provided in the excerpts shared by the outlets.
