"Convenience store chain Circle K said a "network disruption" has paralyzed its Hong Kong operations for several days, forcing nearly 400 outlets across the city to suspend most electronic payment and loyalty services."
"The retailer said the incident, first reported over the weekend, affected e-payment systems, email services, and loyalty programs. Circle K stores remain "open and operating," and customers can still pay with cash or Octopus, Hong Kong's widely used contactless smart card."
""As we cannot rule out a possible cyberattack, we have acted quickly to secure customer, employee and supplier data, and are working with law enforcement and third-party forensics experts to determine the cause, scope and extent of this breach," the company said in a statement on Facebook on Monday."
