Arla Foods has confirmed to BleepingComputer that it was targeted by a cyber-attack that has disrupted its production operations.
The Danish food giant clarified that the attack only affected its production unit in Upahl, Germany, though it expects this will result in product delivery delays or even cancellations.
Arla Foods is an international dairy producer and a farmer-owned cooperative with 7,600 members. It employs 23,000 people in 39 countries.
The firm has an annual revenue of €13.8 billion ($15.5 billion), and its products, including the brands Arla, Lurpak, Puck, Castello, and Starbucks, are sold in 140 countries worldwide.
The company told BleepingComputer that it is currently working to resume operations at the impacted facility, which should bring results before the end of the week.
