Hannaford’s parent company, Ahold Delhaize USA, confirmed that they identified a cybersecurity issue in their U.S. network late last week, prompting them to take some websites, including Hannaford’s, offline for repairs. External cybersecurity experts were enlisted to investigate immediately after the problem was detected, and law enforcement was notified.
Hannaford, which operates 17 stores across Vermont, including in Enosburg Falls and Bennington, assured customers that while stores remain open and well-stocked, some online services, including pharmacy and pickup, are still experiencing delays. The exact timeline for the resolution of the issue and the restoration of the website is unclear.
