Ransomware Attack Creates Cheese Shortages in Netherlands

[Mohammad.Poorya]

An Easter weekend ransomware attack on a food-logistics firm in the Netherlands has caused shortages of prepackaged cheese in supermarkets across the country.
 
“Due to a technical malfunction, there is limited availability on the prepackaged cheese,” the Netherlands’ largest grocery chain, Albert Heijn, announced on its website.
 
Transport company Bakker Logistiek confirmed it was attacked, adding that store shelves would still get stocked, but things might move a bit slowly while they work through the cyber-incident.
 
“We can deliver less, but it does not lead to empty shelves in the store,” Bakker Logistek director Toon Verhoeven said.
