[UPDATED] – Federated Co-op says its cardlocks are “fully operational” across Western Canada, a week after a “cybersecurity incident” led to the shutdown of some systems, a company spokesperson said today.

Last Thursday, Federated Co-operatives Ltd. posted on X that it was “experiencing a cybersecurity incident” that was affecting some internal and customer-facing systems at cardlock and retail Co-op locations. It had shut down some systems as a precaution and had brought in experts, the company added.

Gas bars were relatively unaffected.

Some Co-op grocery inventories were affected by the incident.

“We are prioritizing key grocery items and consumer goods for delivery to local Co-ops,” Federated Co-op said on X yesterday.

There is no evidence customer data has been compromised, the company said.
