UK bakery Greggs is latest victim of recent POS system outages

UK bakery chain Greggs experienced a point-of-sale IT outage that disrupted card payments and forced some shop closures before normal operations were restored the same day; the company attributed the disruption to a technical issue without confirming a cyberattack, while similar recent retail outages (e.g., McDonald’s) have been linked to third-party misconfigurations rather than malicious activity.
