So, it's not a shortage, per se..
Schreiber Foods (responsible for about 50% of the cream cheese in the US) got hit by ransomware right around Halloween and they were offline for about two weeks (fairly common timeframe).
They're still playing catch-up fulfilling their backorders, while some contracts pivoted over to other sources like Kraft, consuming what was originally destined for grocery stores.
This is not like Colonial Pipeline. This is more in line with the JBS hack- the moral of the story being when you centralize production, small ripples have big knock-on effects.
What's going on right now in the cybersecurity world is epic. What's the 4chan meme.. "If you only knew how bad it really is..."
As of this week, every commercial Incident Response firm worth a crap is turning away customers or telling people that have been hit that they can take on the incident in two weeks or more.
