Albert Heijn Cybersecurity Incident
Coverage of the hack that disrupted Albert Heijn and Ahold Delhaize systems, causing IT outages.
English-language coverage of cyberattack news from the Netherlands.
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.
Albert Heijn, Etos and Gall & Gall remain partially offline after parent Ahold Delhaize detected a cybersecurity incident. Experts say it was likely a hack; no data theft found so far. Here's what expats need to know.
