Cazimodo Creative<p>Our local Coop is almost completely empty due to fallout from this ransom attack. You can't even get cheese. We were speaking to a guy who says he thinks other stores are affected too, but keeping it quiet. We did notice a lot of bare shelves in Asda the other day mind you. He reckons M &amp; S have lost half a BILLION pounds already - mind blowing if true 😲</p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/CyberSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CyberSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/RansomWare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RansomWare</span></a></p>
