Clorox CISO flushes self after multimillion-dollar cyberattack
2023-11-16 00:43

The Clorox Company's chief security officer has left her job in the wake of a corporate network breach that cost the manufacturer hundreds of millions of dollars.

Amy Bogac held the title of chief information security officer and VP of enterprise security and infrastructure at Clorox since June 2021, per her LinkedIn profile.

Bogac did not respond to The Register's inquiries, and a Clorox spokesperson declined to say if Bogac remains on staff.

Clorox first disclosed its computer network had been compromised in a US Securities and Exchange Commission filing in August.

In its first-quarter fiscal 2024 earnings report at the start of this month, Clorox reported a 20 percent drop in year-on-year Q1 net sales and noted the $356 million decrease was "Driven largely" by the cyberattack.

In a subsequent SEC filing, Clorox noted that expenses related to the network break-in for the three months ending September 30 totaled $24 million.
