When ransomware group Anubis hit fairlife, Coca-Cola’s dairy brand, production halted and roughly a terabyte of data was reportedly stolen — turning what started as an IT incident into a material event Coca-Cola had to disclose to the SEC. In this breakdown, we cover what went wrong, what could have prevented it, and what fairlife’s options are now that the damage is already done.

This is a textbook case for why network segmentation, monitored access, and isolated backups aren’t optional extras — they’re what keeps a single compromised system from becoming a company-wide breach and a regulatory disclosure.
