INCIDENT

Sacramento, California-based Farmer’s Rice Cooperative suffered a cyberattack one year ago and it is now informing victims of the hack.
“On or about August 31, 2024, Farmer’s discovered that it had experienced a cyber security incident,” the co-op said in a letter to victims. “We promptly launched an investigation, engaged a national cybersecurity firm to assist in assessing the scope of the incident and took steps to mitigate the potential impact to our community.”
“Unfortunately, these types of incidents are becoming increasingly common and organizations with some of the most sophisticated IT infrastructure available continue to end up affected,” the co-op said.
