Blue Yonder has announced that the recovery process has begun following last month’s cyber attack, which crippled a number of major organisations.
Discovered on 21 November, the supply chain attack affected a number of major organisations, including Starbucks, Morrisons, and Sainsbury’s.
In an update posted on 1 December, Blue Yonder has said that its recovery process has begun and that customers are restoring systems.
“Blue Yonder experienced disruptions to its managed services hosted environment, which was determined to be the result of a ransomware incident,” said the company in its latest statement.
“Blue Yonder has been working diligently together with external cyber security firms and hardened our defensive and forensic protocols.
“We are making good progress, several of our impacted customers have been brought back online, and we are actively working directly with others to return them to normal business operations.”
UK grocery chain Morrisons, one of the customers that suffered major issues as a result of the incident, also told media that it was restoring its systems.
“We are recovering quickly, and our backup system is working well,” a Morrisons’ spokesperson told Cybersecurity Dive.
It appears that the effect of the supply chain attack is limited, with a number of major customers confirming with Cyber Daily that they were unaffected.
Responding to inquiries by Cyber Daily, AusPost confirmed that it was unaffected by the incident but declined to provide a written statement.
Cyber Daily also reached out to a number of other Blue Yonder customers, including 7-Eleven, Nestlé, Ford, Microsoft, Lenovo and Australia’s Super Retail Group, which is responsible for major retail stores, including Supercheap Auto, BCF, Rebel, and Macpac.
Ford also confirmed it was unaffected.
