WRAL.Com – Their parent company detected the intrusion late last week and reached out to law enforcement.
In a statement, Food Lion said they’ve had to take some of their systems offline, and services like pharmacies and e-commerce operations have been affected.
Stores are still open.
5 On Your Side has reached out to Food Lion to get more specifics of which systems are offline, what customer information may have been compromised and how those customers are being informed about what’s going on.
“All Food Lion locations are open and accepting all forms of payment,” a Food Lion spokesperson wrote in a statement.
“We appreciate our valued customers’ patience and understanding as we work to resolve the issue.”
