According to Blockchain.news, $11m worth of bitcoin was paid by JBS, the largest meat producing company in Brazil to hackers who got into the company systems and planted a ransonware that completely shut down meat processing operations all over the US.
The US Investigation team was unable to detect how the hackers got into the company's system and although they were against paying ransoms, the JBS had to do what they felt was right for their business and customers according to the CEO of the US division of the company.
