A «cybersecurity incident» targeting the retailer has caused issues with tills, restocking stores and making online deliveries.
A cyber attack has forced arts, crafts, toys, books and stationery retailer The Works to temporarily close several stores, and caused disruption to stock resupplies and delayed deliveries of online orders. The retailer, which has over 500 stores across the UK, says it has been subjected to a «cybersecurity incident involving unauthorised access to its computer systems». As a result of the cyber attack, some stores have been forced to close because of issues with tills, while replenishment of stock has been temporarily suspended.
