Ahold Delhaize has disconnected some systems in response to a cyberattack. The company revealed on its website that it identified a security issue within its network. Teams are taking steps to assess and mitigate the problem. This includes taking some systems offline to help protect them.
Ahold Delhaize said its stores remain open and that its ability to serve customers has not been affected. The company stated that protecting infrastructure is a top priority. They apologized for any inconvenience this issue may have caused.
According to local media, preventive measures impacted deliveries and online orders. This included brands like Albert Heijn and Delhaize in Belgium and the Netherlands. Stores in the US appear to have been affected as well during this period.
It is unclear if the incident is related to a cyberattack that hit refrigerators across Europe over the weekend. The company noted this potential link without confirming a connection. SecurityWeek has emailed Ahold Delhaize for additional information on the attack.
In November 2024, the company was hit by a previous cyberattack impacting several brands. By April 2025, officials confirmed that data was stolen after the INC Ransom ransomware group took credit. In June 2025, regulators in the US were notified that personal information of more than 2.2 million individuals had been compromised.
