Coca-Cola on Monday said its dairy company, fairlife, resumed most of the production at four U.S. facilities, where operations were halted after unauthorized third-party access on some systems.

Fairlife, earlier this month, joined companies grappling with a surge in AI-driven cyberattacks and ransomware that steal sensitive data and disrupt operations, leading to a halt in domestic production. The Chicago-based company launched an investigation with the help of external cybersecurity experts and advisers; Coca-Cola, which wholly owns fairlife, had said product quality and safety had not been affected by the incident.

The beverages giant said fairlife was working to restore impacted systems and operations; existing inventory helped maintain retail availability of products.
