A major supplier to Whole Foods said it has shut down deliveries after it was hacked leading to fears of empty store shelves.

United Natural Foods, a $31 billion distributor of natural and organic products, said in a regulatory filing on Monday that it identified unauthorized activity in our systems and has notified law enforcement while it conducts an investigation.

The Rhode Island-based company, also known as UNFI, discovered the issue last week and took some systems offline while we investigate, according to the filing.

“We are assessing the unauthorized activity and working to restore our systems to safely bring them back online.”

The company reached out to its retail customers on Saturday and Sunday informing them that there will be no deliveries on Monday, adding that it did not know when the disruption would end, sources told The Post.

Its bringing the company to a standstill with no orders generated and no orders coming in, said Steve Schwartz, director of sales for the Morton Williams grocery store chain in New York City.

Among the items that Morton Williams 20 stores receive from UNFI are frozen and dairy items, including Stoneyfield yogurts as well as Sanpellegrino and La Croix sparkling waters.

The chain has already contacted other distributors to supply these and other items if the disruption is prolonged, Schwartz said.

But others were more immediately impacted.

I work at a Diamond store in a scratch bakery and they aren’t even sending us flour, cake blanks or brown butter cookies, wrote one Reddit user on Sunday. We’re trying to figure out if we need to call all our customers who have special orders in this week, because of course its graduation week too.

Another bakery business posted were out of components to make the cakes and tarts so well have an empty case til we get our delivery. We sold out of a lot last night so today will be $0 cake sales ?Cant do much production. Basically will bake off what we have for the floor until something else comes in.

A person who identified as a UNFI employee posted, Our systems went down nationwide around 3:30 pm last Friday. At my location they have been calling us in every day since to come pick y’all’s groceries in hopes that our systems come back on. So far that has not been the case. That’s all we know, corporate isn’t telling us s–t.

Whole Foods did not immediately comment.

UNFI is scheduled to announce its third quarter results on June 10. Its shares are down 8.5% on Monday to about $25.

Its a mystery as of yet what is going to happen and how long its going to be until things are back to normal, wrote another Reddit user who identified as a UNFI employee. Was told by the branch VP that even when they can start to get back on track it will have to be done in phases. So its gonna be a while for things to be back on track fully.

Victorias Secret delayed its earnings release last week after a cyber attack resulted in its website going dark for several days last month.

“What we are seeing with UNFI and, just last week, with Victorias Secret, reflects a growing trend: threat actors are targeting critical infrastructure and high-traffic consumer platforms for maximum disruption and financial leverage,” said Adrianus Warmenhoven, a cybersecurity expert at NordVPN.

Review: Ride1Up’s Revv1 DRT e-bike is a rugged off-roader with plenty of suspension and hidden punch

When it comes to e-bikes, most people’s immediate thought is a commuter model designed to get you through streets to your various destinations, but with Ride1Up’s Revv1 DRT e-bike, the fun is extended (and primarily focused) to off-road adventures, and boy, does this baby have some go in it. It’s been over two years since we reviewed the Revv1 FS counterpart, which we came away quite impressed with its SUPER73-like design. Now we’re heading off the beaten path with this newer off-road variant, which boasts improved specs that outshine its predecessors in the series.

To get our full hands-on impression of this new flagship e-scooter, be sure to check out our review here.

Heybike’s Prime Fall Sale drops the ALPHA all-terrain mid-drive e-bike to a new $1,399 low, more from $899

Heybike has launched its Prime Fall e-bike Sale with up to $700 in savings on a selection of the brand’s e-bikes, including several new and returning low prices. One such model that’s really benefiting is the ALPHA All-Terrain Mid-Drive e-bike that is down at $1,399 shipped. While this model normally carries a $1,699 MSRP, we more often see it keeping down at $1,599, and more recently $1,499 with regular sales and discounts outside of events. During this two-week event, however, you can save more on it than we’ve seen before, as the $300 markdown is dropping costs to a new all-time low. What’s more, there’s a bit of extra savings in the form of the FREE front cargo basket you’ll be getting. Head below for more on this model and the others seeing discounts right now.

The Heybike ALPHA e-bike is the first to be equipped with the brand’s newer 500W Mivice mid-drive motor (which is rated for 900 to 1000W peaks), bringing some serious balance and power to all terrain types. There’s also the 680Wh battery that powers the system, providing up to 60 miles of pedal-assisted travel – supported by a torque sensor – and yes, there is a throttle for when you want to do some electric cruising. Speeds max out at 28 MPH for those living in states where it’s allowed, while otherwise delivering a 20 MPH default top speed.

What’s really nice is that the mid-drive motor doesn’t seem to send the ALPHA all-terrain e-bike into heavier weight classes, as it retains a manageable 72 pounds in all, and there’s a 400-pound rider payload, so more people of larger builds can enjoy the fun. As a more cost-effective mid-drive model, there’s a nice array of features, including the hydraulic disc brakes, hydraulic front suspension fork, and 4-inch puncture-protected fat tires – all providing plenty of support when heading off-road. There’s also an 8-speed Shimano Altus derailleur, an integrated rear cargo rack (and don’t forget the free front cargo basket), an auto-on headlight, a brake-activated taillight, and LCD screen for your setting adjustments, and more.

man charging EV with Autel MaxiCharger AC Lite Home 50A EV Charging Station

Get up to 50A charging speeds with Autel’s MaxiCharger AC Lite level 2 EV station at $455

By way of its official Amazon storefront, Autel is returning its MaxiCharger AC Lite Home 50A Level 2 EV Charging Station back to $455.20 shipped, which beats out the brand’s direct website, where it is listed for its full $569 rate. This is the first time since late July that this model has seen a discount, with the rate here only beaten in 2025 by a drop to $450 during July’s Prime Day event, and a fall further to its $399 low that hasn’t been seen since Black Friday sales. You’re looking at a 20% markdown here that cuts $114 off the going rate for the second-best price of the year and the third-lowest overall.

After selling out during some of the past sales, Lectric has officially restocked its XPedition 2.0 Cargo e-bikes, with them getting up to $674 in FREE bundled gear. While supplies are replenished and last, you can pick up the base 13Ah single-battery model with a $326 bundle at $1,399 shipped, while the 26Ah dual-battery model with a $525 bundle is at $1,799 shipped, and the 35Ah dual-battery model with the largest $674 bundle is at $1,999 shipped. As is the norm with Lectric, the discounts are on the bundles of free gear rather than the more rare direct price cuts to costs, and these packages are mostly focused on adding comfort for passengers – perfect for parents needing a new way to shepherd kids to and from daily appointments, which is what I’ve seen it mainly used for in NYC. Head below for more on the free gear you’ll be getting, as well as a rundown on the e-bike’s performance.

Husqvarna’s Automower 115H 4G robot with a built-in alarm system returns to its second-best $499 price

Amazon is offering the Husqvarna Automower 115H 4G Robotic Lawn Mower at $499 shipped, beating out the brand’s direct website, where it is currently priced for its full $700 MSRP. At Amazon, though, you’ll more regularly find it at $599 since June, with the discounts we’ve seen this year having been dropping costs lowest to either $499 or $490. The deal we’re seeing today gives you a 29% markdown off the MSRP, saving you $201 ($100 off the going Amazon rate) and landing it back at the second-best price.

New Orleans back as CFP title host in Jan. 2028

New Orleans will host the 2028 College Football Playoff National Championship at Caesars Superdome, the CFP announced Wednesday.

The 14th title game in the CFP era will be played Monday, Jan. 24, 2028, following the 2027 regular season and playoff rounds. New Orleans will become the third city to host the CFP title game for a second time. The game has also been to Atlanta twice (2018, 2025) and will make its second appearance (along with 2021) in South Florida this season Jan. 19 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.

“The College Football Playoff is thrilled to bring the national championship game back to New Orleans in 2028,” CFP executive director Rich Clark said in a statement. “Few cities embrace college football quite like New Orleans, with its unmatched hospitality, culture and passion for the game. We know fans, teams and the entire college football community will have an unforgettable experience in one of the sport’s most iconic destinations.”

The 2027 title game is set for Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Iowa State loses pair of starting CBs for season

Iowa State loses pair of starting CBs for season

  • Associated Press

Oct 1, 2025, 10:42 AM ET

AMES, Iowa — No. 14 Iowa State‘s secondary will be without longtime starters Jontez Williams and Jeremiah Cooper for the rest of the season because of knee injuries.

Coach Matt Campbell announced Tuesday that Williams damaged the ACL in his right knee late in the Cyclones’ 39-14 win over Arizona on Saturday. Cooper tore his ACL in practice last week. The two have combined for 55 starts.

Williams, an Associated Press All-Big 12 second-team pick in 2024, had one interception and two pass breakups this season. He was hurt with three minutes left against Arizona as he dove in an attempt to knock a ball away from a receiver.

“So that’s a situation that really stinks for the kid,” Campbell said. “But man, just how he’s handled it has been uber impressive. And a great human. He’ll be back ready to rock and roll next year.”

Cooper has made 36 starts since 2022 and was an AP All-Big 12 first-team pick at safety in 2023. He switched to cornerback full time this season and had an interception and three pass breakups through four games.

Tre Bell, a transfer from Lindenwood, made his first start for the Cyclones in Cooper’s place against Arizona. Quentin Taylor Jr., who played 26 snaps against Arizona, would be in line to make his first start when the Cyclones (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) visit Cincinnati (3-1, 1-0) on Saturday.
