Albert Heijn hack: what it means for your groceries, Bonus card, and home delivery as outage drags on

The cyberattack on Albert Heijn parent Ahold Delhaize has suspended home delivery until at least 20 October, taken the app and online ordering offline, and left Bonus card promotions unavailable. No data breach has been confirmed, but stores are still being restocked. For expats, the practical impact is significant: no delivery, no personal discounts, and limited availability of fresh produce. Expect at least another week of disruption.
