JBS work resumes as Biden blames Russia for hack

JBS SA said the "vast majority" of the company's beef, pork, poultry and prepared foods plants would be operational on Wednesday, after a ransomware attack by a Russia-linked hacking group disrupted meat production in North America and Australia.

This report produced by Chris Dignam.

JBS employees returned to U.S. meat plants on Wednesday, a day after the company's beef operations ground to a halt due to a ransomware attack believed to be perpetrated by a notorious hacking group based in Russia.

At the end of remarks related to his administration's vaccination efforts, President Joe Biden was asked if he planned to retaliate against Russia for the second supply chain disrupting attack in less than a month.

REPORTER: "Mr. President will you retaliate against Russia for this latest ransomware attack?" BIDEN: "We're looking closely at that issue." REPORTER: "Do you think Putin is testing you?" BIDEN: "No." Earlier, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said she expected Biden to discuss the spate of ransomware attacks with Russian President Vladimir Putin at their summit in Geneva on June 16.

PSAKI: "President Biden certainly thinks that President Putin and the Russian government has a role to play in stopping and preventing these attacks... Responsible states do not harbor ransomware criminals." A source with direct knowledge of the latest ransomware attack told Reuters on Wednesday that the Russian cyber gang responsible goes by the name REvil, which attacked Apple supplier Quanta Computer earlier this year, demanding a ransom of $50 million for the company to regain access to its systems. The ransomware attack on JBS, the world's largest meat producer, also follows one in May by another group with ties to Russia against Colonial Pipeline, the largest fuel pipeline in the United States, which said it paid a $4.4 million ransom to the hackers.

Officials said JBS plants were expected to return to full capacity in the next couple days, and the company said in a statement on Tuesday night that it had made "significant progress in resolving the cyberattack."

Climate Change Altering Wildfire Patterns, Increasing the Risk of Night Fires [Video]

Climate Change Altering Wildfire Patterns, Increasing the Risk of Night Fires

Climate Change Altering , Wildfire Patterns, , Increasing the Risk of Night Fires. 'Newsweek' reports that North America is facing an "emerging phenomenon" in which the dangerous conditions that spawn wildfires occur during the night. . Typically, these conditions have only existed during the daytime, as the cooler temperatures of night usually alleviate these conditions. Researchers found that accumulated fuel dryness brought on by drought has led to fires thriving at night. . I think it is important to bring this emerging phenomenon to the public to let them know that the night might not save us, Kaiwei Luo, Ph.D. student at the University of Alberta's Faculty of Agricultural, Life & Environmental Sciences, via 'Newsweek'. The team's findings challenge conventional methods of fighting wildfires, as cooler night temperatures and higher humidity previously worked to slow wildfires' growth. Originally, I had thought that since nights are warming faster than days, higher temperatures and the associated lower relative humidity at night would lead to more overnight fires, Mike Flannigan, University of Alberta professor emeritus and researcher with Thompson Rivers University, via 'Newsweek'. In the extreme cases, there would be no difference between an overnight burn event and daytime burning, Kaiwei Luo, Ph.D. student at the University of Alberta's Faculty of Agricultural, Life & Environmental Sciences, via 'Newsweek'. Researchers found that daytime drought conditions could be used as a , "predictor of overnight burning events.". Nighttime burning has long been overlooked. In a warmer and drier world, we can use daytime drought indicators to predict the night. More of these fires also increase the likelihood of a catastrophic fire, Kaiwei Luo, Ph.D. student at the University of Alberta's Faculty of Agricultural, Life & Environmental Sciences, via 'Newsweek'

16 Republican AGs Sue Biden Administration for Pausing Liquid Natural Gas Exports

16 Republican AGs Sue Biden Administration , for Pausing Liquid Natural Gas Exports. The lawsuit was filed on March 21. The states claim that the Biden administration does not have the authority to deny "federal permits for new liquid natural gas (LNG) exports," 'The Hill' reports. . The 16 attorneys general also allege that the pause goes against Congress. This ban disregards statutory mandates, flouts the normal regulatory process, upends the industry, disrupts Plaintiffs’ economies, and subverts our constitutional structure, Via lawsuit. These unlawful actions leave Plaintiffs with no choice but to once more turn to the courts to enforce the law, Via lawsuit. The suit goes on to allege that the ban is motivated by politics and comes "in the midst of an election year, and after a sustained pressure campaign from billionaire conglomerates, celebrities, ‘influencers,’ and banks.". The timing of the decision, in an election year, raises the likelihood that political motivations drove the action, House Oversight Committee Republicans, in a letter to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm. LNG, which is often considered to be "a bridge between coal and renewables," was first pushed by the Obama administration. LNG, which is often considered to be "a bridge between coal and renewables," was first pushed by the Obama administration.
