NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Shoppers have reported bare shelves at local Stop & Shops after a reported cybersecurity attack.
The Boston Globe reported on Nov. 12 that Stop & Shop claims a cybersecurity issue is affecting its parent company, Ahold Delhaize.
Company officials reported that there is limited inventory on certain products and they are restocking shelves as soon as item availability improves.
The grocery chain's parent company Ahold Delhaize said its US outlet had to take some of their systems offline, disrupting its pharmacy and e-commerce business.
Ahold Delhaize reports it is investigating the issue and is working with law enforcement, the Boston Globe reports. They are taking some systems offline to protect them.
In North Adams, shoppers have reported empty shelves in the produce section of the store as well as limited selections for meat.
Ahold Delhaize, an international Dutch company, also owns Hannaford markets, among other brands. There are Stop & Shop stores in Pittsfield and in North Adams.
