Cybersecurity stocks, like FireEye (FEYE) were higher after the world’s largest meat supplier, JBS USA was attacked, according to USA Today.

The one-two punch of the recent cyberattacks “shows that nothing is safe,” said former senior Department of Homeland Security official Paul Rosenzweig, as quoted by USA Today. “Not the meatpacking industry, not the chemical industry, not the wastewater treatment industry, not Sony. Nothing. And the only way to be safe in this world is to unplug completely. And you can’t do that and be economically competitive.”

Beyond Meat (BYND) had an impressive week after Bernstein analyst Alexia Howard just boosted her rating on BYND to an outperform rating, with a price target of $130. “Consumer demand for meat alternatives overall have held up well on a two-year basis, and Beyond Meat itself is telling investors to expect a recovery in organic growth in the second quarter, despite difficult year-over-year comparisons. Its restaurant sales should get a boost from people returning to dining out,” as noted by Barron’s.
