Coffee retail chain Starbucks is facing disruptions to its operations due to a ransomware attack on Blue Yonder, a software supplier based in the UK.
Starbucks said the cyber security incident affected its ability to pay baristas and manage their schedules.
The coffee giant said that an outage at a third-party vendor has disrupted a back-end Starbucks process that enables employee scheduling and time tracking.
Starbucks said the outage is not impacting its customer service. Starbucks said it was working to ensure its employees were fully paid for their hours worked with limited disruption or discrepancy.
Blue Yonder provides supply chain software to Starbucks and other retailers. Wall Street Journal said on Thursday that Blue Yonder has experienced disruptions due to a ransomware attack and it is working to fix the issue.
