EXCERPT:

JEAN-PIERRE: “One more thing, as soon as I get there. One more update for all of you, meat producer JBS notified us on Sunday that they are the victims of a ransomware attack. The White House has offered assistance to JBS and our team and the Department of Agriculture, have spoken to their leadership several times in the last day. JBS notified the administration that the ransom demand came from a criminal organization likely based in Russia.”
