Clorox on Monday warned of a fabric financial hit from ongoing production disruptions brought on by a cyberattack last month.
The corporate, which produces its namesake bleach products and Pine-Sol, amongst other home goods, also said it doesn’t have an estimate for when it should give you the chance to resume full operations.
The cybersecurity breach will impact fiscal first quarter results attributable to product outages and delays, Clorox said.
Nonetheless, the corporate said it believes the threat is contained. It expects to begin bringing systems back up to the mark next week, and can ramp as much as full production “over time.”
Clorox had disclosed the attack Aug. 14, saying that its systems had been breached. After learning of the attacks, the corporate took systems offline and involved law enforcement.
Now, a month later, the attack is still causing “widescale disruption” to the businesses operations, in response to a Clorox securities filing. While systems are being repaired, the corporate has needed to go manual on lots of its procedures. In consequence, the corporate has scaled back its order processing, meaning fewer products are making their way onto store shelves.
The breach at Clorox comes as Las Vegas casino firms MGM and Caesars reckon with their very own cyberattacks. MGM also warned of a possible material impact on its funds.
Shares of Clorox traded roughly 1% lower Monday.
