Ransomware attack on Blue Yonder disrupts major UK and US retailers

A ransomware attack on Blue Yonder, a major supply chain software provider, is disrupting operations for several U.S. and U.K. retailers. The company, acquired by Panasonic in 2021, has not provided a timeline for recovery. Morrisons and Sainsbury’s in the U.K. reported issues with their warehouse management systems. While Sainsbury’s has restored services, Morrisons is relying on backup systems to continue operations. In the U.S., Starbucks faced challenges with payroll and scheduling due to the attack. Some customers, including Tesco and DHL Supply Chain, reported no disruptions. The investigation into the incident is ongoing.
