<p>Molson Coors Beverage Co. said Thursday it has been hit by a cyberattack that disrupted its brewing operations and shipments.</p>
<p>In a regulatory filing, the Chicago-based company said it has hired forensic information technology experts and legal counsel to help it investigate the incident.</p>
<p>“The company is working around the clock to get its systems back up as quickly as possible,” Molson Coors said in its filing.</p>
<p>Molson Coors wouldn’t say how many facilities were impacted. The company operates seven breweries and packaging plants in the U.S., three in Canada and 10 in Europe.</p>
<p>In addition to its namesake brews, its brands include Miller Lite, Pilsner Urquell and Blue Moon.</p>
<p>Molson Coors also wouldn’t say if the cyberattack was related to a <a href="https://apnews.com/article/fireeye-ceo-microsoft-china-hack-870dfcc0b3dc9a95a641a85081464018">global hack of servers running Microsoft Exchange </a> email software. That breach has impacted small businesses, law firms, city governments and manufacturers.</p>
<p>It’s not the first time a major beverage maker has been targeted in a cyberattack.</p>
<p>In November, Milan-based Campari Group said it was the victim of a ransomware attack that caused a temporary technology outage and compromised some business and personal data.</p>
