A branch of The Works in Nottingham has remained open after the company experienced a cyber attack. The store in Long Row is accepting cash only after the hack, which has forced the stationery and books retailer to close five of its 526 shops since last week.
It said the hack had caused issues with its tills and resulted in new stock deliveries to its stores being temporarily suspended and longer delivery times for online orders. In a statement, The Works said: “There has been some limited disruption to trading and business operations, including the closure of some stores due to till issues.
"The company does not currently anticipate that this incident will have a material adverse impact on its forecasts or financial position. Customers can continue to shop safely at The Works, both in store and online.
“All debit and credit card payment data are processed securely outside the group’s systems, via accredited third-party networks, and, therefore, there is no risk that this payment data has been accessed improperly.”
