More than 300 branches of the convenience store chain Spar in the north of England have been hit by a cyberattack, forcing many of them to close.
The attack hit the company’s computer systems, causing a “total IT outage” that has prevented staff from taking card payments and locked them out of emails.
Some branches of the chain, one of the few places to buy groceries in many remote communities, are accepting cash but the rest have been forced to close entirely.
The IT outage first hit on Sunday and technicians worked through the night to try to fix the problems.
According to the Twitter account of one Spar branch on Monday afternoon, there was “no time set to be back online”.
