Ongoing cyberattack at US grocery distributor giant UNFI affecting customer orders


The primary distributor for Whole Foods said it's "diligently managing through the cyber incident" that sparked outages.

On the company’s post-results conference call, Douglas said UNFI is “continuing to safely bring our systems back online and restore broad-based customer service as soon as possible.” The company, which is the primary distributor for Amazon-owned Whole Foods, and supplies over 250,000 grocery store products including frozen goods, disclosed on Monday that it had identified unauthorized access to its IT systems. TechCrunch has heard anecdotal reports of diminished or empty shelves at some stores affected by the disruption at UNFI, but it is not immediately clear if this is due to the cyberattack or other supply chain issues.
