Major US grocery distributor warns of disruption after cyberattack


UNFI, a grocery distributor for Whole Foods and others, warned of disruptions to customer orders after a cyberattack.

UNFI said in a Monday filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that it became aware of unauthorized access to its IT systems last Thursday, and began shutting down portions of its network. The Providence, RI-based company is one of the largest grocery distributors in North America, selling fresh produce, goods and food products to more than 30,000 stores and supermarket locations across the U.S. and Canada. “We are assessing the unauthorized activity and working to restore our systems to safely bring them back online,” said Jimenez, adding that the incident was reported to law enforcement.
