Indigo payment systems, online store down after ‘cybersecurity incident’

Indigo’s payment systems and online store are down after a “cybersecurity incident,” the company announced on Wednesday evening.

The bookstore chain, which also owns Chapters and Coles, said in a statement posted to its website and social media accounts it is working with “third-party experts to investigate and resolve the situation.” The company’s statement did not specify whether customer data was compromised.

As of Wednesday evening, Indigo’s online store remains unavailable and redirects to the company’s statement. The company is also not accepting debit, credit or gift card payments in-store and only taking cash.

“We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may create for our valuable customers,” the company said.
