The world’s largest meat processing company has paid a ransom worth $11m (£7.8m) to hackers behind a cyber attack on its computer systems.
JBS – which produces almost a quarter of America’s beef – confirmed it handed over the funds on Wednesday.
It comes after the Brazil-based company revealed on 31 May how its network had been targeted.
