Coca-Cola has confirmed a data breach tied to a ransomware attack on its dairy subsidiary Fairlife. The company initially disclosed the intrusion on July 16, suspending production at four U.S. Fairlife facilities. Most production has since resumed, and Fairlife product availability remains largely unaffected thanks to existing inventory.

The Anubis ransomware group claimed responsibility on July 20, alleging it stole 1 TB of confidential data — a figure Coca-Cola has not confirmed. The company acknowledges data was taken but hasn't said what, and says the incident won't materially affect its financial condition or results of operations.

Anubis has been active since December 2024, runs a double-extortion model, and unusually also carries a wiper mode for permanently destroying files. It has threatened to publish the stolen Fairlife data if no ransom is paid.
