INCIDENT
Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL) has been forced to shut down internal and customer-facing systems at local retail Co-op stores and cardlock fuel locations across Western Canada as a result of a cybersecurity incident. The unplanned outage was first noted on social media by local Co-ops on Wednesday, June 26.
Supply problems varied by store, stocks of food items like bread, fresh produce, baking supplies and dairy products were slim or non-existent. Cardlock fuelling stations were hit hard in the first few days.
