Morrisons Grapples with Food Shortages After Cyber Attack Disrupts Supply Chain
Morrisons has been facing significant food shortages across multiple stores in the UK, attributed to a recent cyber attack on Blue Yonder, its supply chain management software provider. This attack has disrupted the supply of fresh produce, including fruits, vegetables, and meats, leading to empty shelves and widespread customer frustration.
Shoppers have taken to social media platform X, formerly Twitter, to express their dissatisfaction as they encounter barren shelves in various Morrisons locations. Complaints range from comments about empty produce aisles to concerns over the availability of basic staples. One customer illustrated the issue with a photo of an empty vegetable crate at their local store, questioning the severity of stock control issues.
Morrisons confirmed that ambient and frozen goods remain unaffected, as they are operating on backup systems to mitigate the impact of the cyber incident. A spokesperson acknowledged the disruption caused by the ransomware attack, which Blue Yonder confirmed was due to a targeted cyber assault that impacted many grocery retailers reliant on its services.
Customers have expressed a mix of bewilderment and anger, with some declaring their shopping trips futile due to the lack of stock. Concerns have also been raised about the supermarket not adequately communicating the situation to prevent wasted journeys.
As Morrisons continues working towards restoring its full supply chain capabilities, shoppers hope for a swift resolution to the ongoing shortages.
