Blue Yonder Data Breach (2024)

"“On November 21, 2024, Blue Yonder experienced disruptions to its managed services hosted environment, which was determined to be the result of a ransomware incident,” Blue Yonder said in an initial public statement on Friday. The company said in an updated statement on Saturday it was making “steady progress” in its recovery but still did not have a “timeline for restoration.” Immediate impact was felt in the United Kingdom, where two of the four biggest grocery chains told CNN they were taking steps to deal with the outage. “We have reverted to a backup process but the outage has caused the smooth flow of goods to our stores to be impacted,” said a spokesperson for Morrisons, which has nearly 500 grocery stores across the United Kingdom. Some of the biggest U.S. grocery chains use Blue Yonder, including Albertsons — the parent company of chains like Safeway and Jewel-Osco — and Kroger, the parent company of chains like Ralphs and Fred Meyer. Albertsons and Kroger did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment."
