Clorox products may be in short supply following cyberattack, company warns
CBSN
If Clorox products seem harder to come by these days, you can thank hackers.
The bleach and household cleaners manufacturer said in a statement on its website Monday that it is "continuing to operate at a lower rate of processing," as a result of the recent cyberattack that damaged portions of the company's IT infrastructure. The breach, which occurred last month, disrupted operations as the company "took certain systems offline" as a security measure.
"We expect the ramp-up to full production to occur over time but do not yet have an estimate for how long it will take to resume fully normalized operations," the company said. In the meantime, the company will continue to process orders manually as it reintegrates its systems that were taken offline during the attack, according to the statement.
Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin launched six space tourists on a high-speed dash to the edge of space and back Friday, giving the passengers — including a husband and wife making their second flight — about three minutes of weightlessness and an out-of-this world view before the capsule made a parachute descent to touchdown at the company's west Texas flight facility.
