Ransomware Attack Disrupts Services for Major Companies, Impacting Payroll and Scheduling

A ransomware incident has targeted Blue Yonder, an Arizona-based company that specializes in supply chain management solutions. This attack has led to significant disruptions in payroll and scheduling services for several major international clients, including Starbucks and one of the UK’s largest grocery retailers.

Blue Yonder reported that last week its managed services were affected by an external attack, prompting the company to engage with cybersecurity specialists to address the challenge. In an update, Blue Yonder acknowledged the ongoing efforts of their team, which is working tirelessly to mitigate the ramifications of the ransomware incident, although they could not provide an estimated timeline for when full service will be reinstated.

Founded in 1985, Blue Yonder claims to be a leader in the digital transformation of supply chains, serving over 3,000 clients with its advanced, AI-driven software solutions. The company has yet to disclose specific details about which clients have been affected or the precise services impacted by this serious incident.
