Clorox fights the consequences of a cyber attack

The Clorox brand is facing difficulties in sourcing some of its products, following a recent cyber attack that hit the company. The attack caused significant disruptions to operations and affected the availability of Clorox products, with the impact also extending to the company's other brands such as Burt's Bees, Glad and Pine-Sol. The company is working to repair the damage and reintegrate the affected systems, in order to fully restore production.

The current situation and the restoration of operations

Although the attack was contained, Clorox operations are still taking place on a limited basis. At the moment, the company has communicated that it cannot predict how long it will take to return to normality. To ensure a full recovery, the company is working to repair its IT infrastructure and ensure the reintegration of systems that have remained offline.

Financial impact of the cyber attack

The cyber attack suffered by Clorox will have a significant impact on the company's first quarter financial results. It is still difficult to estimate the exact financial damage caused by the attack, but the situation will be monitored closely. Clorox shares fell 0.2% on the New York Stock Exchange following news of the cyberattack. Clorox will work to address these consequences and mitigate the impact on its corporate balance sheet.

A widespread problem: cyber attacks in the sector

The attack suffered by Clorox is part of a broader picture of cyber attacks affecting the corporate sector. Recently, MGM Resorts International also found it difficult to address a cybersecurity issue that forced the company to temporarily suspend some of its operations. These incidents demonstrate the importance of strengthening cyber security measures to protect corporate infrastructure and sensitive data.
