2026-06-16

Mackay Sugar said a ransomware attack shut down some mills and disrupted cane supply and logistics systems. The company restarted limited manual crushing at one mill, began steam trials, and expected a staged restart later in the week. The Gentlemen claimed the company on its Tor site, but no data leak has appeared and the status of OT systems remains unclear.
