April 14, 2025

This website provides a comprehensive overview of publicly known cyberattacks on companies in the global food industry in 2024. The chronological list contains information on the date of the incident, the company affected and the respective country or location. It covers cyberattacks along the entire food value chain, from farms and suppliers to processors, logistics providers, wholesalers, retailers, and restaurants

The sources of our information include official notifications from affected companies, media reports, trade publications and security alerts from national and international cyber security authorities. As many incidents are not made public for fear of reputational damage or economic consequences, the actual number of attacks is probably significantly higher.

• The statistics are based on the known incidents listed here.
• Since only some of the cases become known, the evaluations are not representative.
• Industries where incidents are immediately visible due to public access (e.g. healthcare) are more represented than others.
• An incident may be assigned to multiple countries or industries. Also, a country cannot always be assigned. So the totals shown on the charts may be different.
