Second Farming Co-op to Shut Down this Week
I just find it very interesting that we were told over and over that we are going to have a 'Pandemic' of Cyber-Attacks. And it just so happens that when they run these drills and exercises, we tend to see something happen right after. Hmm!
You see, they push technogy on everything today, and with technogy comes hacks and attacks, and we will never know who was really behind it.
The farming industry today has gone all tech. And now, when they get 'attacked' it messes up the whole system, from planting, watering, spraying and harvesting. It's called PA 'Precision Agriculture' They use satellite farming, and claim it helps to 'optimize' returns while preserving resources.
A company called Agtools, was a participant in the exercise with Cyber Polygon. This is from AgToos website...
"AgTools is a worldwide SaaS platform gathering real-time government and institutional data of over 500 specialty crops and commodities."
"Our platform includes algorithms and M/L for farmers, buyers, and everyone on the supply chain to see and decide how to manage their forecasting and purchase orders."
Sadly, 'I' believe these 'Cyber-Attacks' are by design. The elites of the world are trying to control the food in every way possible. Whether through GMOs, droughts, flooding, fertilizer shortage, etc. So would attacks on farming co-ops really surprise us.
I'll state it again,
“Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world.” -Henry Kissinger
This is what they believe and this is what they are doing.
I'm going to share a few article excerpts, but please, I can't stress enough, how important it is to start putting some food away. Don't wait, anything is better then nothing. I don't care if it's only spaghetti and pork and beans, do something. Every can of food adds up. And I'd love to take credit for this info, but it's from a guy over at YouTube named Magic Prepper that I watch once in awhile. But I felt, I wanted to simplify this a bit and highlight a few things and not just drop a video.
This excerpt is from The Security Magazine....
'Second farming cooperative shut down by ransomware this week'
Crystal Valley, a Minnesota-based farming cooperative, has been hit by a ransomware attack, causing them to shut down their IT systems and their daily operations to be severely interrupted.
In a statement, the company confirmed it had been targeted in a ransomware attack, forcing it to shut down its payment systems. It's unknown which threat actor targeted the company.
Crystal Valley is the second agriculture business to be hit with a ransomware attack this week. Iowa-based grain cooperative NEW Cooperative Inc. was struck by BlackMatter ransomware recently. The threat actors demanded a $5.9 million ransom.

Training….
During the online exercise at Cyber Polygon 2021, the teams will practice response actions at the moment of a targeted supply chain attack on a corporate ecosystem.
Theme…
Recent years have seen a surge in the number of attacks targeting supply chains. Given the global trend towards the development of ecosystems across the business community, the vulnerability of supply chains has become a growing concern. With that in mind, the central theme of the training this year will be ecosystem security and mitigation of supply chain attacks.
Since the training proved effective last year, we have retained the existing format, with just a few changes to accommodate the wishes of the teams. The exercise will include two scenarios — Defense and Response.
