United Natural Foods (UNFI), a major food distributor and wholesaler, suffered a severe cyberattack in early June 2024, forcing a complete shutdown of its network. The incident, attributed to the financially motivated cybercrime group Scattered Spider, disrupted operations across 52 distribution centers, leading to $400 million in lost sales and a $60 million net income loss in the quarter. The attack caused widespread supply chain disruptions, including empty store shelves, product spoilage, and delayed orders for 30,000 customer locations. UNFI incurred $25 million in direct costs ($20M for manual workarounds, $5M for remediation) and expects cyber insurance to cover these expenses, though reimbursement is delayed until fiscal 2026. While core systems were restored by late June, the company faced lingering operational challenges, including backlogged purchase orders, invoicing, and payments. The attack highlighted the cascading financial and reputational risks of cyber incidents in critical supply chains.
