Cybersecurity expert Morgan Wright analyzes AI risks and OpenAI’s new report on six concerning behavior incident triggers.
A group of grocery stores, including Stop & Shop, Hannaford and Food Lion, are facing outages to their websites and mobile apps this week.
Ahold Delhaize USA, the parent company of the grocery store chains and others, said in a statement Monday that was later updated Tuesday that it was experiencing a cybersecurity issue within its network.
The issue prompted the company to take “precautionary measures, including taking some systems offline to help protect them.”

“We recognize that these actions have caused disruption for customers, associates and partners, but protecting our infrastructure in the best interest of our customers, associates and partners is a top priority,” Ahold Delhaize said, adding its teams are urgently working to “investigate the incident and restore affected systems safely.”
“As they make progress in assessing and mitigating the issues, we are in the process of starting a controlled relaunch of certain systems.”

Customers may place delivery orders through Instacart, DoorDash, and Uber Eats. Any unfulfilled orders placed through FoodLion.com or the Food Lion app will be refunded.
