Supply Chain Ransomware Attack Hits Starbucks, UK Grocers

Blue Yonder, a managed services provider used by over 3,000 customers including Starbucks, Morrisons, and Sainsbury’s, suffered a ransomware attack that disrupted its hosted environment and forced affected customers to revert to manual processes for scheduling, replenishment and other operations. Blue Yonder is working with cybersecurity firms (reported involvement of CrowdStrike) and monitoring its Azure environment while recovery efforts continue; the article frames the incident as another example of escalating software supply-chain risks and draws parallels to prior high-profile supply-chain compromises.
