(CNN) – You may have problems finding some Clorox products in your local store.

It’s not due to a rise in COVID-19 cases but, rather, from a cyberattack.

The company revealed in a regulatory filing Monday that it detected unauthorized activity in some of its information technology systems last month.

Clorox says it immediately took action to stop the hackers, including reducing its operations.

While the company believes it has contained the cyberattack, it still has not been able to get its manufacturing operations back up to full speed.

As a result, Clorox says some of its products are in short supply.

The company hasn’t stated which products were impacted.

Clorox also says it expects to begin the process of returning to normal operations next week.

However, they don’t know how long it will take to resume full production.
