"Food Giant Kraft Heinz Targeted by Ransomware Group"

A known ransomware group known as Snatch claims to have breached the systems of Kraft Heinz, but the food giant says it's unable to verify the cybercriminals' allegations.  The ransomware group publicly named Kraft Heinz on its website on December 14, but the post appears to have been created on August 16, which indicates that the attack occurred months ago.  Kraft Heinz said it's investigating claims of a cyberattack that occurred several months ago.  The company said the target appeared to be a decommissioned marketing site hosted on an external platform, but it's currently unable to verify the hackers' claims.  Kraft Heinz noted that its internal systems are operating normally and currently sees no evidence of a broader attack.  The cybercriminals have yet to publish any files as proof of their claims.  Kraft Heinz is one of the world's biggest food and beverage companies, with roughly 37,000 employees worldwide.  The company owns more than 20 brands, including Kraft, Heinz, Boca Burger, Gevalia, Grey Poupon, Oscar Mayer, Philadelphia Cream Cheese, Primal Kitchen, and Wattie's.
