Clorox Cyberattack Sparks Product Shortages and Delays

Clorox warns that a cyberattack in August has caused "wide-scale disruptions" in its operations, potentially leading to product delays and shortages. The attack damaged portions of the company's IT infrastructure, prompting Clorox to take certain systems offline for remediation. While production has resumed at most manufacturing sites, the company cannot estimate how long it will take to fully normalize operations. Clorox anticipates a material impact on its Q1 financial results and is still evaluating the extent of the financial and business impact. The perpetrator of the cyberattack is unknown at this time.
