Ahold Delhaize sees no signs that personal data has been stolen
Ahold Delhaize is working to restore systems after a cyberattack caused widespread disruptions to its websites and distribution centers, though no evidence of data theft has been found. The Dutch government confirmed that national food security remains stable as investigations into potential links with other European food sector cyberattacks continue.
Retailer Ahold Delhaize is currently working to restore its systems following a significant cyberattack that disrupted operations across its various chains. While the company stated that websites for Albert Heijn, Etos, and Gall & Gall are currently offline and supply chain issues have led to empty shelves at some Albert Heijn locations, officials maintain there is no evidence yet that personal data was compromised. The company is collaborating with cybersecurity experts to secure its infrastructure and manage the ongoing investigation into the incident.
Government officials, including State Secretary Silvio Erkens, have addressed the situation in the Tweede Kamer, confirming that national food security remains intact despite the distribution hurdles. Meanwhile, the National Cyber Security Center is investigating potential links between this incident and similar cyberattacks targeting the European food sector, including recent disruptions in France. The Dutch government is currently finalizing a food security emergency plan that accounts for large-scale supply chain disturbances.
