A major UK distribution company has been hacked. Name as yet not disclosed.
A distributor to the UK's major supermarkets has said it is being held to ransom by cyber hackers.
Logistics firm Peter Green Chilled supplies supermarkets including Tesco, Sainsbury's, Lidl and Aldi, but it is not in the top 30 of UK food distributors.
Adidas has disclosed it's been hit by a cyber attack in which customers' personal information has been stolen.
The sportswear giant said criminals had obtained "certain consumer data" which "mainly consists" of the contact information of people who had been in touch with its help desk.
Adidas said passwords and credit card and other payment data were not compromised.
Four people have been arrested by police investigating the cyber-attacks that have caused havoc at M&S and the Co-op.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) says a 20-year-old woman was arrested in Staffordshire, and three males - aged between 17 and 19 - were detained in London and the West Midlands.
They were apprehended on suspicion of Computer Misuse Act offences, blackmail, money laundering and participating in the activities of an organised crime group.
All four were arrested at their homes in the early hours of Thursday. Electronic devices were also seized by the police.
One of the suspects - a 19-year-old man - is from Latvia, the rest are from the UK.
Cyber attacks that disclose personal data and also cost companies millions of pounds really should carry a prison sentence. It's getting worse and worse and happening more often. Tougher sentences are long overdue.

Looking at what this lot have been charged with they’re going down for a good while

We can't live without technology in 2025, cash is no good if there are no goods in shops because of a cyber attack. Both M& S and Co-op had supply issues linked to the cyber attack.

More aiming it at the leaked details, people only lose their privacy information cause of payments online presumably? Or something that will be linked with an online purchase like a delivery.
We definitely can live without technology, it would just be a very different style of living. Less convenient.
Privacy & Safety trumps convenience for me personally.
