   Two years ago, Coop in Sweden had a major ransomware incident where all their point of sale devices got wiped.

   Now, they’ve been hit by a ransomware group again - this time Cactus. Unclear if point of sale devices wiped this time, probably not would be my guess. #threatintel

     One important addition. Coop is a cooperative, and thia incident affects one such part of the larger Coop.

     Roughly 140,000 members are affected which quite obviously is not a small amount, yet not the full amount of all Coop customers and members.
