Owen Scott reports that Peter Green Chilled, a transport service to some of Britain’s supermarkets, has been the victim of a cyberattack with a ransom demand.
Peter Green Chilled has said that it is issuing “regular updates” to clients while the attack continues.
The company’s clients include major supermarkets such as Tesco, Aldi, and Sainsbury’s.
Now, the distributor is implementing “workarounds” to continue deliveries.
However, one of its customers has said that thousands of products are at risk of going to waste.

Although the BBC reportedly saw the ransom note, they did not name the threat actor or gang, and they did not report whether data were actually encrypted. From the impact being described, however, this appears to be an incident involving encryption and not just data exfiltration.
No ransomware gang has publicly claimed responsibility for the attack as of this publication.
