Threat-actor claim — not a regulatory filing

This row is a claim by the ransomware group INC Ransom on its public extortion blog. It has not been validated by the victim or any regulator. Treat attribution and counts as the threat actor's assertion until a regulatory filing or victim disclosure corroborates them.

Monterey Mushrooms, Inc. was initially established in 1971 as a single farm operation in Royal Oaks, California. Today, this multi-site business is headquartered in Watsonville, California, and has production, sales and administrative offices, internationally. Monterey is the country’s largest and only national marketer of fresh mushrooms, supplying products for sale to supermarkets, foodservice and ingredient manufacture operations, and for preparation of processed, canned, and frozen mushroom products. In 1999, the company furthered its expansion into the Midwestern and Southeastern regions via the acquisition of mushroom farms in Princeton, Illinois, and Orlando, Florida. Monterey also continued its expansion in the Pacific Northwest via contracted pounds from Canada - all pounds are packed and distributed under the Monterey Mushrooms label.
