Expeditors International of Washington, Inc. (NASDAQ:EXPD)
announced that on February 20, 2022, we determined that our company
was the subject of a targeted cyber-attack. Upon discovering the
incident, we shut down most of our operating systems globally to
manage the safety of our overall global systems environment. The
situation is evolving, and we are working with global cybersecurity
experts to manage the situation. While our systems are shut down we
will have limited ability to conduct operations, including but not
limited to arranging for shipments of freight or managing customs
and distribution activities for our customers’ shipments.
The security of our systems, minimizing the impacts on our
customers, and providing our customers with timely and accurate
information are our highest priorities. We are conducting a
thorough investigation to ensure that our systems are restored both
promptly and securely, and on a parallel track, evaluating ways
with our carriers and service providers to mitigate the impact of
this event on our customers. Since it is extremely early in the
process, we cannot provide any specific projections on when we
might be operational, but we will provide regular updates when we
are able to do so confidently.
We are incurring expenses relating to the cyber-attack to
investigate and remediate this matter and expect to continue to
incur expenses of this nature in the future. Depending on the
length of the shutdown of our operations, the impact of this
cyber-attack could have a material adverse impact on our business,
revenues, results of operations and reputation.
Further communications will be shared as we manage through this
significant event.
