There's been A little bit of a disconnect, in my opinion, on some of the conferences, ours, as well as other ones out there, have had the topic of service. You know, this one presentation that I sat in on was talking about changing your passwords. I'm like, really? You know, don't open up suspect-looking emails. I mean, that goes without saying. Make money with a Gmail account.

I think the opportunity lies with probably coming from the cybersecurity world into actually explaining to the food companies what the plans are. Yeah, I agree. There's threats to food companies from cyber attack that are not related to the safety of the others. Uh-huh. Ransom, chip anything. We've got your customer database. We've got this. We've got that. Right.

Actually, what I think would be helpful is more and more examples, potential food safety and quality issues that could happen as a result of a cyber attack. So I learned about this one company that had programmable logic controllers.

Their patches and fixes were available on the internet with no password, mainly on secure websites for a major company that was flying. So what if that was hacked? What if that was even replaced? What if that website, it could cause, you know, by having all the valves controlled differently than they should be, it could wreak major havoc and potentially cause a food safety threat.

Some companies even don't. I think that would be those topics or cited examples of a cyber attack on a company and specifically how that relates to safety and quality would be important and also the financial impact to that company. They couldn't even be viewed as liable for this because they didn't put enough safety measures in to prevent that from happening.

You know, it seems all like a regular food safety issue. You were talking about Boar's Head and, you know, they had issues in the plant that were just being ignored. Is it the same with cider? You know, if you're not really paying attention to this, then that's potentially negligence. Correct. So, and if that led to some form of a malicious intent on the food company,

that led to a food safety problem that led to potential injuries or deaths all the way back. And I think that's an area that is completely under discussed.

We actually introduced a last minute new session for the consortium specifically on this. The original session was on root cause analysis. presenter, and it's changing around, but what she's doing is researching the USDA record.

There's not everything that's going to be available to her by October 21st, but what is available publicly, they're going to be looking at, reviewing, and discussing, and how for attendees to potentially avoid those problems. How did this happen? Was this a sort of a bystander effect? Everyone thought in the plant, well, someone must be dealing with it.
