Reported on June 9th: Whole Foods’ shelves could get bare as supplier shuts down deliveries after cyberattack. Here is an excerpt:
“A major supplier to Whole Foods said it has shut down deliveries after it was hacked – leading to fears of empty store shelves.
United Natural Foods, a $31 billion distributor of natural and organic products, said in a regulatory filing on Monday that it “identified unauthorized activity in our systems” and has notified law enforcement while it conducts an investigation.
The Rhode Island-based company, also known as UNFI, discovered the issue last week and took ‘some systems offline while we investigate,’ according to the filing.
‘We are assessing the unauthorized activity and working to restore our systems to safely bring them back online.'”
