London Drugs stores remain closed after 'cybersecurity incident'
All London Drugs stores remained closed across Western Canada on Tuesday morning, two days after the B.C.-based company announced it was dealing with a "cybersecurity incident."
A statement issued by the company at 7:20 a.m. PT Tuesday said its stores "will remain temporarily closed ... until further notice while continuing to provide customers with urgent pharmacy care."
"London Drugs is currently working with leading third-party cybersecurity experts to bring our operations back online in a safe and secure manner."
The retail and pharmacy chain, which has more than 80 stores across B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, said it closed its stores "out of an abundance of caution" while it employed experts to investigate the incident.
"Our investigation is currently assessing the extent to which any data has been compromised in the incident. In the event our investigation determines that personal information was impacted, we will notify affected individuals in accordance with privacy laws," the statement said.
