Australia’s second-biggest retailer has been the target of a cyber attack, but it’s still too early to tell if any of its data has been stolen or compromised.

Coles revealed the threat on Monday morning, saying the incident was being investigated with the support of the Australian Cyber Security Centre and global security experts.

“We have not identified any evidence that customer, team or supplier data has been compromised or removed from Coles’ systems,” Coles said in a statement to the stock exchange.

“Operations continue and customers are able to shop as normal with Coles in stores and online.”

Coles apologised to its customers for any concerns they might have at “a time of increasing cyber incidents in Australia and around the world”.
