"Staples Confirms Cyberattack Behind Service Outages, Delivery Issues"

American office supply retailer Staples took down some of its systems on November 27th after a cyberattack to contain the breach's impact and protect customer data.  Staples operates 994 US and Canada stores and 40 fulfillment centers for nationwide product storage and dispatch.  The company noted that the response measures disrupted its business operations, specifically the backend processing and product delivery.  Staples stores are currently open and operational, but orders on staples.com may not be processed according to the standard timelines as related systems are still down.  Staples noted that no ransomware was deployed in the attack, and no files were encrypted.
