Canadian retailer Loblaw investigates data breach
Loblaw secured its network after a breach exposed customer names, phone numbers, and emails; passwords and financial data were not affected, the company said.
- On March 10, 2026, Loblaw Companies Limited announced it is investigating a data breach after identifying suspicious activity where a criminal third party accessed basic customer contact information.
- Unusual activity in a contained, non-critical part of Loblaw's IT network prompted the investigation, as the Company said suspicious activity was detected.
- Security measures included securing the network and notifying customers, and all customers will be automatically logged out and must log back in to access the Company's digital services.
- Loblaw's investigation indicates customers' passwords, health information and credit card data were not compromised, and PC Financial was not impacted, with no expected effect on financial performance.
- The retailer, Canada's food and pharmacy leader with more than 220,000 colleagues, had reported fourth-quarter revenue below analysts' estimates last month and cautioned outcomes depend on its ongoing forensic investigation.
