Meatpacking company JBS USA Holdings Inc JBSS3, +0.30% said it was the target of a cybersecurity attack that affected some of its North American and Australian information-technology systems.
JBS USA, a unit of Brazilian meat company, said the resolution of the incident would delay certain transactions with customers and suppliers. The company said it suspended all affected systems, notified authorities and is working with professionals and third-party experts to resolve the issue. JBS said its backup servers weren’t affected by the attack. It said it isn’t aware of any evidence that any customer, supplier or employee data has been compromised or misused due to the attack.
The incident comes as cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure or key companies, some by suspected foreign actors, have become a growing area of concern for the U.S. national security officials.

'Like a Dream': Latin Americans Head to U.S. for COVID ShotsRIO DE JANEIRO — Florencia Gonzalez Alzaga, a photographer from Buenos Aires, hatched her plan to fly to the United States for a coronavirus vaccine after the subject came up in her Zoom book club. Juan Pablo Bojacá, an Instagram influencer from Colombia who specializes in frugal travel, urged his 137,000 followers to give it a try, posting a step-by-step video guide that showed him clearing passport control in Miami. José Acevedo, a real estate agent in Paraguay, was stunned by how easy the whole thing was in Las Vegas. Sign up for The Morning newsletter from the New York Times Frustrated with the lagging pace of vaccine campaigns at home and seeing a surplus of doses in the United States — where tens of millions of Americans have opted not to get inoculated — wealthy and middle-class Latin Americans with American tourist visas have been flocking to the United States in recent weeks to score a COVID-19 shot. “It’s like a dream,” said Gonzalez, who got her shot in Miami in April.
