Clorox CISO Departs Following Major Cyberattack

The company continues to grapple with the financial and operational fallout, expecting further expenses in future periods.

Clorox's Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), Amy Bogac, has left the company following a major cyberattack.
The cyberattack, which occurred in August, caused significant disruption to Clorox's operations, forcing the company to process orders by hand and leading to product availability issues.
The attack has had a substantial financial impact on Clorox, with a reported 20% drop in Q1 net sales, equating to a $356 million decrease, largely attributed to the cyberattack.
Expenses related to the cyberattack for the three months ending September 30 totaled $24 million, primarily due to third-party consulting services, IT recovery, and forensic experts.
Clorox expects to incur additional expenses related to the cyberattack in future periods.
