A cyberattack earlier this month forced produce giant Dole to temporarily shut down production plants in North America and halt food shipments to grocery stores, according to a company memo about the incident obtained by CNN.
The previously unreported hack — which a source familiar with the incident said was ransomware — led some grocery shoppers to complain on Facebook in recent days that store shelves were missing Dole-made salad kits.
However, two grocery stores in Texas and New Mexico on Wednesday said they couldn't stock Dole salad kits on their shelves for days. "They [customers] are upset, but it happens," Russell said. "We can't do nothing about it except [put in the orders]." Other high-profile hacks against the food and agriculture sector in the last two years have threatened supply chains and caused distributors to strengthen their cybersecurity.
