Meat-producing giant JBS announced Thursday that it has resumed normal operations at all of its global facilities following a production-crippling ransomware attack, adding that it expects any lost meat production to be “fully recovered by the end of next week.”

In a Thursday statement, JBS said all its plants are now fully operational, crediting a “swift response, robust IT systems and encrypted backup servers” for resolving Sunday’s “criminal cyberattack.”
