Cyber Incident Halts Albert Heijn Hubs; Empty Shelves Looming
Albert Heijn said operations at multiple distribution centers stopped after its systems were shut down “preventively,” CEO Margaret Versteden-van Duijn said.
The chain cannot say how long the disruption will last. Versteden-van Duijn told the broadcaster that shelves could empty “if it lasts any longer.”
The impact on stores is uncertain. “That will vary from store to store. That depends on a great many factors,” she noted.
The company has not yet been able to confirm whether malicious actors breached its IT systems.
“The investigation is still ongoing. Unfortunately, I cannot say anything about that at the moment,” Versteden-van Duijn said.
The incident reportedly began Sunday afternoon. Albert Heijn said early Monday that it had taken its systems offline to protect the company’s IT environment.
