Another ag related company has been hit by a possible ransomware attack. The Wisconsin State Farmer reporting that Schreiber Foods in Green Bay, Wis., was targeted late last month.
The company, which is one of the state’s largest milk processors, was able to start accepting milk deliveries last week. It said it was back producing and shipping products just five days after the cyber event halted operations. It’s rumored the hackers demanded $2.5 million.
Schreiber Foods makes a variety of dairy and cheese products. It’s employee owned with more than 30 locations around the world.
Dairy Good for More than Just Bones
We’ve heard that dairy can be good for our bones, but some researchers are taking that a step further to say it may also reduce the risk of falls and broken bones in older adults.
The findings were recently published in the British Medical Journal. Researchers conducted a two year trial that involved more than 7,000 people in Australia. They averaged 86-years-old. The researchers found that improving calcium and protein intakes by using dairy foods is a readily accessible intervention that reduces the risk of falls and fractures that commonly in older adults. They reported a 27% risk reduction in all fractures and a 44% reduction in hip fractures specifically. There was also an 11% reduction in falls.
