(Reuters) - Clorox said on Monday it had taken certain systems offline after unauthorized activity disrupted some business operations.

It said it was implementing workarounds for certain offline operations in order to continue servicing its customers and had engaged third-party cybersecurity experts to support its investigation and recovery efforts.

The company said it was also coordinating with law enforcement to address the issue that had affected some of its information technology systems.
