Customers are seeing empty shelves this week at many Stop & Shop locations across Massachusetts after the stores’ parent company said last week it was contending with a cybersecurity issue.

It is unclear when inventory will return to normal. The post Stop & Shop cyberattack continuing to affect store shelves appeared first on Boston.com.

Stop & Shop’s owner, Dutch grocery giant Ahold Delhaize, has been tight-lipped since announcing the issue Nov. 8. Some CT stores are short on some foods.

When asked about the bare shelves and signage about IT issues, Stop & Shop responded with a press release from parent company Ahold Delhaize on Thursday saying it had “detected a cybersecurity issue within its U.S. network” and was investigating with help from outside experts.

On Friday the parent company of Stop & Shop, Ahold Delhaize, released a statement that said an investigation is being conducted after a recent cybersecurity issue within its U.S. network. Their security team along with outside cybersecurity experts are working to detect the issue and take steps to further protect their systems.

Kaitlyn Krasselt, a spokeswoman for the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection which regulates pharmacies in the state, said the agency was aware of delays in processing prescriptions at Stop & Shop pharmacies last Friday, but that the backlog has since been resolved.

Stop & Shop's shelves are empty across Massachusetts just ten days before Thanksgiving because of a hack that targeted its parent company.
