Starbucks has gone back to pen and paper after vendor ransomware attack

• Starbucks stores are using pen and paper to track employee hours after attack
• Third-party Vendor Blue Yonder hit with ransomware attack
• Retail stores in the UK and US affected

Starbucks may be the largest coffee chain in the world, but many of its stores have been forced to manually track employee’s schedules and payroll after a third party supply chain vendor was hit by a ransomware attack.

Blue Yonder confirmed it was the victim of a ransomware attack, and services are still being severely disrupted, with the company confirming it is “working around the clock to respond to this incident”.
