CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Thousands of Australian meat employees were out of work on Tuesday. The cyberattack damaged the world’s largest meat processing facility. According to a government minister, production may not resume for several days.

JBS is also Australia’s largest meat and food processing corporation. Operating 47 facilities throughout the country, including abattoirs, feedlots, and meat processing plants. It employs around 11,000 workers.

JBS USA stated in a statement issued Monday from Greeley, Colorado, that company was the subject of an “organized cybersecurity attack”. on Sunday that affected several of its servers supporting its North American and Australian IT systems.

“The company’s backup servers were not affected and it is actively working with an Incident Response firm to restore its systems as soon as possible.”

Australian Agriculture Minister David Littleproud stated that the government and the Australian Federal Police were collaborating with JBS to rectify the issues and seek those responsibly.

“Despite the fact that JBS accounts for around 20% of our processing production here in Australia. We’re not expecting there to be significant impacts on exports. This isn’t a protracted shutdown,” Littleproud stated on Tuesday.

JBS exports over 70% of what it produces in Australia. However, Australia and New Zealand contribute only 4% of the company’s total income.

Several cow consignments in Queensland State were canceled on short notice. Livestock trucks were turned around, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
