4 companies affected by security breaches in June

There's been a sharp rise in cyberattacks in recent weeks, often disrupting services and products that are essential to everyday lives.

In May, the ransomware attack that forced a six-day shutdown of Colonial Pipeline — a key East Coast line that delivers gas to millions of people — brought the scary situation to the forefront of people's minds. Days later, food processor JBS USA also suffered a cyberattack, which affected servers supporting its IT systems. The uneasy trend continued in June, with several high-profile companies like McDonald's and Peloton revealing they, too, were targeted by hackers. These incidents highlight the growing need for cybersecurity professionals, a space that's facing a skills gap.
