Clorox products may be in short supply following cyberattack, company warns

The bleach and household cleaners manufacturer in a statement on its website Monday that it is"continuing to operate at a lower rate of processing," as a result of the recent cyberattack that damaged portions of the company's IT infrastructure. The breach, which occurred last month, disrupted operations as the company"took certain systems offline" as a security measure.

"We expect the ramp-up to full production to occur over time but do not yet have an estimate for how long it will take to resume fully normalized operations," the company said. In the meantime, the company will continue to process orders manually as it reintegrates its systems that were taken offline during the attack, according to the statement.

The transition back to automated order processing will take place beginning the week of September 25, the company said, adding that production had already resumed at a"vast majority" of its manufacturing sites. Clorox also owns brands Burt's Bees, Pine SOL and Fresh Step, but it's unclear whether its output of those products has also been affected by the attack. Hackers target major companies

Clorox isn't the only company to fall victim to a cyberattack recently. Last week, a group of hackers exploited MGM Resorts' systems, stealing Social Security numbers and driver's license numbers from a"significant number" of , the hospitality and casino giant said. The ransom attack also targeted the resort's operations, with hotel guests reporting they couldn't access their rooms with their digital keys or make room charges.
