Ahold websites and app stay offline 5 days after cyber incident
In short
Ahold’s websites and app were still offline five days after a cyber incident. The company’s physical stores remained open, and it did not comment on each chain separately.
This matters because shoppers cannot use the digital services right now. The report does not say whether customer data was hit or when the websites and app will return.
