Peter Green Chilled

Peter Green Chilled, a UK logistics company that distributes chilled and frozen food to major UK supermarkets, recently suffered a ransomware attack. The attack temporarily halted the delivery of goods, causing significant disruptions in the supply chain. The company notified its customers on May 15 about the cybersecurity incident, which occurred the day before. Although transport activities were operational, new orders were not being processed. The attack sent ripples throughout the industry, with one business estimating a loss of around $133,000 a week due to the disruption. The severity of the attack underscores the importance of treating cybersecurity in retail and logistics with the same urgency as critical infrastructure.
