Clorox Products In Short Supply In Pittsburgh, Nationwide

PITTSBURGH, PA — If you're wondering why it's increasingly difficult to locate Clorox cleaning products on grocery shelves, here's the reason why: A cyberattack has forced the company to curtail their production.

How long the shortage will last is anyone's guess.

In a regulatory filing on Monday, Clorox said it detected unauthorized activity in some of its information technology systems last month. Clorox said it immediately took action to stop the attack, including reducing its operations, and now believes the attack has been contained

But Clorox has yet to get its manufacturing operations back up to full speed. The company said it is fulfilling and processing orders manually. The company doesn’t expect to begin the process of resuming normal operations until next week

“Clorox has already resumed production at the vast majority of its manufacturing sites and expects the ramp up to full production to occur over time,” the company said. “At this time, the company cannot estimate how long it will take to resume fully normalized operations."
