Anubis Ransomware Claims Coca-Cola Fairlife Attack, Threatens Data Leak

Outside cybersecurity experts are investigating, and Coca-Cola said product quality and safety were not affected.

  • On Thursday, July 16, 2026, Coca-Cola disclosed that a ransomware attack forced its Fairlife dairy subsidiary to suspend U.S. production after breaching IT and production-related systems.
  • Hacking gang Anubis claimed credit on Tuesday for the attack on the Coca-Cola-owned dairy company, threatening to publish 1 terabyte of stolen data unless an unspecified ransom is paid.
  • Fairlife has ballooned from about $10 million in retail value in 2014 to almost $4 billion in 2025, making it one of Coca-Cola's biggest growth stories and an increasingly attractive cyber target.
  • While Coca-Cola stated "Product quality and safety have not been impacted," past ransomware incidents at Arizona Beverages and UNFI caused weeks of empty shelves, with no restoration timeline yet provided.
  • Coca-Cola reports second-quarter results before market open on Tuesday, July 28, though analysts view the operational headache as unlikely to threaten the company's dividend or overall financial stability.
