Yara experienced a cyberattack that disrupted its production.
In January 2022, Yara, a global fertilizer company, faced a significant cyberattack that targeted its digital systems. The attack led to the company shutting down several of its plants and factories to prevent further damage. This incident was part of a larger trend of cyberattacks on critical infrastructure and industrial operations. Yara’s response included working with cybersecurity experts to investigate the breach and implementing measures to enhance their digital security. The attack had implications for the global supply of fertilizers, potentially affecting food production and prices. The company’s swift action to contain the attack minimized the impact, but it highlighted the vulnerability of industrial firms to cyber threats.
