In July 2022, Spinneys experienced a ransomware‑related unauthorized access incident that compromised internal systems. The breach exposed customer data such as names, contact details, email addresses, delivery addresses and historical order information. The organization confirmed that no banking or payment card data was stored on the affected servers, so financial information remained secure. Following the discovery, Spinneys collaborated with law enforcement agencies to investigate the attack and mitigate further risk. Affected customers were advised to stay vigilant against possible fraudulent communications and to use official support channels for assistance. The company expressed regret over the incident and reiterated its commitment to protecting customer data. These actions illustrate Spinneys’ focus on incident response and data protection within the retail sector.
