Pick n Pay breach puts South Africa’s retail cybersecurity under scrutiny

▤ Summary

Pick n Pay says a cyberattack exposed customer data tied to an older version of its on-demand delivery app. The incident affected information from a retired platform that once powered Bottles and later Asap!, including names, contact details, delivery addresses, and limited payment card data. The breach has raised broader concerns about how companies retire legacy systems and manage historical customer records. Pick n Pay is notifying affected customers, working with cybersecurity specialists, and reviewing its data retention and security practices.
