A major software supply-chain company, which counts US and UK grocery stores and Fortune 500 firms as clients, said it was hit by a ransomware attack this weekend.

The hackers hit Blue Yonder — an Arizona-based software firm acquired by Panasonic in 2021 — affecting a private cloud computing service the company provides some customers, but not the company’s public cloud environment. A Blue Yonder spokesperson did not answer questions about which clients were affected, including those in the United States.

” 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.
