Retail Outages Hit Second Week

Retail Outages Hit Second Week

Ransomware attack on software supplier disrupts operations for Starbucks and other retailers | Lowell Sun

The disruption to Blue Yonder’s clients is still ongoing, nearly two weeks after the outage first occurred, as a result of a ransomware attack on the supply chain software giant

Blue Yonder, an Arizona-based company, announced on Sunday that it is making “good progress” in its recovery from the attack that occurred on November 21 in its manage services hosted environment.

The company provided a concise update to its cybersecurity incident page. The company stated that “several” customers who were affected have been restored to the internet.

However, it also stated that it is “actively working” with other entities to “restore them to normal business operations.”

The number of customers who have been impacted remains unknown, and Blue Yonder spokesperson Marina Renneke declined to provide an answer when contacted by TechCrunch on Monday.

Last week, Morrisons and Sainsbury’s, two supermarket chains in the United Kingdom, affirmed to TechCrunch that they had been impacted.

Starbucks, a coffee giant in the United States, stated that the ransomware attack was requiring managers to manually calculate employees’ pay.
