Coca‑Cola's Fairlife dairy hit by ransomware, halting U.S. production

In July 2026 a ransomware attack attributed to the Anubis group compromised Fairlife, the dairy subsidiary of The Coca‑Cola Company, forcing a complete shutdown of its U.S. manufacturing operations. The attackers claimed to have exfiltrated around one terabyte of corporate data, and Coca‑Cola reported unauthorized access to a portion of its systems.

Coca‑Cola said retail availability of Fairlife products remained largely unaffected thanks to existing inventory, and the company has resumed most production at its U.S. facilities. The incident underscores growing cyber‑risk for food‑and‑beverage manufacturers, highlighting the convergence of IT and operational‑technology (OT) environments where traditional firewalls may no longer suffice.
