We were warned this would happen. And now here we are.
United Natural Foods ($UNFI) has had to switch off systems after a cyberattack, crippling its operations. This is a huge deal, because #UNFI is a big part of the grocery distribution network in the U.S. and Canada.
Once again, it looks like the work of #UNC3944, a/k/a #ScatteredSpider. In #SBBlogwatch, we hoard canned goods.

“Shields up, U.S. retailers,” quipped Mandiant’s chief analyst. In #SBBlogwatch, we hail the Kobayashi Maru.
