Cyberattacks Threaten Retailers and Shoppers

Many stores had problems because of cyberattacks. A big company named United Natural Foods had a security problem. This company sends food to Whole Foods and other stores, so they did not have enough food.

Shops in the UK also had problems with hackers. Marks & Spencer's website did not work for a long time. Some stores had less food after an attack on a grocery store named Co-op.

Cyberattacks are becoming more common for all businesses. These attacks can stop stores from selling things. Hackers can also steal customer information and use it for bad things later.

Experts say cyberattacks are increasing, especially on stores. Criminals are getting faster than our security. Hackers ask for money to give back the systems they attacked, this is called ransomware.

Hackers want to hurt famous stores that people use every day. This causes panic and puts pressure on the stores. It is important for people to protect their information and be careful about emails.
