A cyber security incident at Coles has caused the Aussie supermarket giant to bring in global cyber security experts to ‘contain and secure’ its IT environment.

At this stage, Coles Group Limited said it had not identified evidence that customer, team or supplier data had been compromised.

Operations were continuing ‘as normal’ both in-store and online.

‘Coles is working with the Australian Cyber Security Centre and will continue to engage with appropriate agencies and regulators as investigations continue,’ the company said in a statement.

‘We apologise for any concern this may cause our customers and key stakeholders at a time of increasing cyber incidents in Australia and around the world.’

More to come.
