JBS, the world's largest meat processor, confirms it paid a ransom of $11 million to cyberattackers.
CEO Andre Nogueira of JBA USA called it a "very difficult decision to make."

Aerogels are the world's lightest (least dense) solids. They are also excellent thermal insulators and have been used in numerous Mars missions and the Stardust comet particle-return mission.
