A Bermuda supermarket chain, Lindo’s, is currently grappling with an unspecified “cybersecurity issue.” While details are scarce, a spokeswoman for the chain has confirmed that their staff is actively managing the situation to minimize disruptions for customers. The community’s support during this challenging time is appreciated, as Lindo’s works to resolve the issue.
The acknowledgment of the cybersecurity issue follows a recent incident at Bermuda College, where computer systems and phone networks were disrupted due to a glitch. Although termed an “IT security incident,” it’s yet to be confirmed as a cyberattack. An investigation led by the college’s IT department and vendor has been launched, leading to the campus’s closure until further notice.
Recent progress has been made in restoring the college’s IT system, thanks to the collaborative efforts of the IT department and its security partners. Despite a phased return to campus and the resumption of essential services, some classes continue remotely due to limited wi-fi access. Additionally, the phone system remains offline, posing ongoing challenges for communication.
