Ransomware Hits Software Supplier, Impacting Starbucks and Retailers

A ransomware attack on Blue Yonder, a major supply chain software provider, has disrupted operations for several companies, including Starbucks and U.K. grocers Morrisons and Sainsbury's. The attack affected systems managing barista schedules and warehouse operations, prompting companies to use manual workarounds and contingency plans. While Starbucks has resumed payroll processing, recovery efforts are ongoing. Blue Yonder, a subsidiary of Panasonic, is working with cybersecurity firms to address the issue.
