Although the food and beverage industry isn’t the stereotypical cyberattack target, every business with an internet connection has a bullseye on its back. Imagine food rotting on production lines, grocery freezers shutting down, delivery trucks being re-routed, recipes altered, HR records flowing to a teenager’s laptop and payments landing in spoofed accounts.
Who would do that? A hobbyist hacker. A disgruntled employee. A competitor. A professional cyber thief. Anyone.
