Reckitt Benckiser: 'sales warning' after cyber-attack.
(CercleFinance.com) - The Reckitt Benckiser share is down over 2% this morning on the London Stock Exchange after the group cut its organic growth forecast for 2017.
The consumer goods giant is therefore one of the first to quantify the consequences of the massive cyber-attack that occurred on 27 June.
This computerised attack, which occurred on a huge scale, in particular interfered with the operations of logistics terminals, factories and even the IT departments of many companies.
Reckitt Benckiser, whose brands include Nurofen, Strepsils, Durex, Scholl, Clearasil, Veet and Harpic brands, has to date achieved "significant progress" in restoring its systems. The IT department of the American Mead Johnson, which it recently bought out, has not been affected.
