Ongoing cyberattack at US grocery distributor giant affecting customer orders
Briefly

United Natural Foods, a leading U.S. grocery distributor, is recovering from a cyberattack that has disrupted its operations and supply chain. In a recent earnings report, CEO Sandy Douglas mentioned the company is diligently managing the incident as they shut down their network to address unauthorized access. While UNFI assists customers with limited shipping capabilities, reports indicate some stores may experience diminished stock due to these disruptions. However, the full extent of the attack's impact on grocery availability may not be evident until later this week.
UNFI confirmed its ongoing cyber incident has caused major disruptions in grocery supply chains, stating they are working diligently to restore their systems and services.
As part of risk management, UNFI has shut down its entire network to address unauthorized access, while ensuring limited shipping to customers as conditions allow.
The grocery disruption from UNFI's cyberattack has led to reports of diminished stock on store shelves; however, it remains unclear if this is solely due to the attack.
The impact on grocery stores from the UNFI cyberattack may not fully materialize until later this week, despite current reports of supply shortages.
