Although not a cyberattack it reminds me of the massive supply disruption and culling that occurred in the UK because of the mad cow disease.
There is still no clue as to why these disruptions happened but the educated guess mentioned in the article is ransomware.

If he was a hacker he would be in prison but he does incalculable damage again and again and gets away Scot free every time!
