Top Tractor-Maker Warns Ransomware Attack Has "Adversely Affected" Production

One of the world's top manufacturers and distributors of agricultural equipment announced Thursday that a ransomware attack impacted operations.
Duluth, Georgia-based AGCO Corp. released a statement that some of its manufacturing plants have slowed production for several days because of a ransomware attack.
The ransomware attack comes only a few weeks after the FBI's Cyber Division warned about increased cyber-attack threats on agricultural companies and comes after a curious string of fires and explosions that damaged major US food processing plants.
