Ransomware attack on food distributor spells more pain for UK supermarkets www.theregister.com/2025/05/2…

It’s more bad news for UK supermarkets with chilled and frozen food distribution business Peter Green Chilled confirming a ransomware attack with customers.

According to UK public broadcaster the BBC, which saw emails to the customers, the ransomware attack took hold on May 14 and by the following day customers were informed via email.

Managing director Tom Binks said “the transport activities of the business” were continuing to run unchanged, although at the time of the emails sent on May 15, the company had said it wouldn’t be processing new orders on that day.

The logistics provider said it would not be making any further comments about the attack itself.
