Clorox, the household cleaning giant, has been hit by a cyberattack.
This attack disrupted their operations and caused a shortage of some Clorox products.
The company hasn't disclosed which products are affected.
Immediate Action
Upon detecting unauthorized IT activities in August, Clorox promptly moved to mitigate the breach’s impact, including a halt in specific operations to safeguard their systems.
Despite their efforts, Clorox grapples with a staggered operational comeback. The firm is presently manually handling order fulfillment and processing, working towards resuming complete operations later this week.
Financial Impact
This cyberattack will impact Clorox's current-quarter financial results.
The long-term effects are uncertain, given the ongoing recovery.
Clorox (CLX) shares fell about 2% in early trading.
Similar Incident
MGM Resorts recently faced a suspected cyberattack, disrupting various aspects of its business.
What's Next for Clorox?
While Clorox expects a gradual return to normal operations, the timeline is uncertain.
