MACKAY Sugar, Australia's second-largest sugar producer, experienced a ransomware attack on June 10 that affected operations at two of its cane-processing mills in Queensland. The company initiated interim processes to maintain critical business functions and has since started limited manual operations. As of June 15, they reported significant progress in system restoration and expected to resume some harvesting soon.
The attack was linked to the Gentlemen ransomware group, which claimed responsibility but has not leaked any data. There's uncertainty regarding the extent of the data compromise and the impact on industrial control systems.
