Ahold has no indication client data was stolen in cybersecurity incident
Amsterdam, October 13: Dutch supermarket giant Ahold Delhaize has expressed no indication of client data being stolen during the recent cybersecurity incident that led to the shutdown of several systems, according to a statement released on Tuesday. The company, which operates the largest supermarket chain Albert Heijn in the Netherlands and has significant operations in various European countries and the United States, announced on Monday that it was facing a security issue and had taken several systems offline as a precautionary measure.
The incident occurred concurrently with a cyberattack in France, where refrigerators and freezers at numerous stores were observed heating up to 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit) overnight, leading to fires and spoilage of food. The Dutch National Cyber Security Centre has stated that there is currently no reason to believe that the incident in the Netherlands is connected to similar incidents in other countries.
