Peter Green Chilled, a food logistics company supplying major UK retailers, has experienced a ransomware attack, leading to the suspension of order processing. While transport operations remain unaffected, it's unclear if a ransom demand was made. The nature of the products increases pressure on the company to address the situation swiftly. Experts highlight that food suppliers are prime targets for cybercriminals due to the immediate impact of operational disruptions on supply chains. This incident aligns with recent cyberattacks on other UK retailers, showcasing growing concerns over cybersecurity in the food supply sector.
Food suppliers like Peter Green Chilled are increasingly attractive targets for cybercriminals - not just for the data they hold, but because any operational disruption has immediate and far-reaching consequences.
The incident follows recent attacks on the Co-op, Harrods, and M&S - the latter of which is continuing to feel the consequences.
