A ransomware attack on supply chain software giant Blue Yonder continues to cause disruption to the company’s customers, almost two weeks after the outage first began.
In a brief update to its cybersecurity incident page on Sunday, Arizona-based Blue Yonder said it is making “good progress” in its recovery from the attack, which hit its managed services hosted environment on November 21. The company said that “several” impacted customers have been brought back online but added that it is “actively working” with others to “return them to normal business operations.”
It’s still not known how many customers have been affected, and Blue Yonder spokesperson Marina Renneke declined to say when asked by The Tech Spot.
U.K. supermarket chains Morrisons and Sainsbury’s confirmed to The Tech Spot last week that they had been affected by the outage, experiencing disruptions in their supply chain management systems. The incident has raised concerns about the reliability of third-party service providers and their ability to safeguard critical operational functions in the retail sector.
but did not disclose the extent of the disruption. Meanwhile, Blue Yonder continues to communicate with its clients to ensure that any lingering issues are swiftly addressed and resolved.
And U.S. coffee giant Starbucks said the ransomware attack was forcing managers to manually calculate employees’ pay.
