Save-On-Foods, a major Canadian supermarket chain, has notified its More Rewards loyalty program members that their personal information was accessed during a cybersecurity breach. The company discovered unauthorized activity on one of its servers on October 13, 2026, which was quickly contained before an investigation was launched with cybersecurity experts. The email sent to affected customers confirmed that names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and dates of birth were accessed, though the company did not disclose the number of customers impacted. Save-On-Foods emphasized that no credit card data or passwords were compromised. The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security warned that such personal information can be exploited by cybercriminals to conduct more convincing phishing attacks, impersonating trusted organizations to trick individuals into revealing sensitive information or sending money. Experts noted that criminals often gain access to corporate networks through employees clicking malicious links or downloading malware, then mapping the network to identify valuable data. The breach has sparked community concern, with some Reddit users expressing frustration over loyalty programs requiring personal information, arguing that such data can be sold or used for cybercrime. Customers are advised to remain vigilant against suspicious communications, as Save-On-Foods confirmed it would never request passwords, banking details, or social insurance numbers. The company notified relevant authorities and privacy regulators, though the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for B.C. had not confirmed receipt of the notification at the time of publication. This incident highlights ongoing cybersecurity challenges faced by businesses handling sensitive customer data.
