Starbucks Faces Major Disruptions Due to Ransomware Attack on Software Supplier
Starbucks is currently dealing with significant operational challenges following a ransomware attack that targeted its software supplier, Blue Yonder. As a result of the cyberattack, baristas are unable to view their schedules, prompting the company to revert to manual methods using pens and paper to track employee hours and payroll. The disruption has not only affected Starbucks but also impacted several grocery stores in the UK and US that rely on the same software services. The situation has forced Starbucks to manually handle payments for its baristas, leading to widespread challenges in scheduling and payroll operations.
