Clorox Faces Product Shortages and Material Impact as Cyberattack Disrupts Operations

Clorox, the Oakland-based cleaning materials company, is experiencing wide-scale disruption of its operations due to a cyberattack. The attack has caused shortages of some Clorox products. The company has reported that the cyberattack, which occurred last month, is still impacting its production. Clorox expects its first-quarter results to be materially affected by the cyberattack. The attack on Clorox's information-technology systems has led to product shortages nationwide, impacting items such as bleach and cat litter. Clorox warns that its earnings will be negatively impacted by the cyberattack. The company took down certain internal systems after the hack, resulting in several weeks of halted production. Clorox is not the only company to have been targeted by cyberattacks recently, following high-profile attacks on MGM and Caesars. Operations at Clorox have not yet returned to normal since the cyberattack in August.
