Customers using Tesco’s website and app have been unable to order groceries after ‘attempts to interfere with the systems’ caused a crash.
Shoppers have reported problems with their online orders and deliveries on social media, following the system crash yesterday morning.
Tesco initially said it was experiencing ‘an issue’ with its website and app on Saturday and then confirmed there had been a deliberate ‘interference’.
A Tesco spokesperson said: “Since yesterday, we’ve been experiencing disruption to our online grocery website and app. An attempt was made to interfere with our systems, which has caused problems with the search function on the site. We’re working hard to fully restore all services and apologise for the inconvenience.
“There is no reason to believe that this issue impacts customer data and we continue to take ongoing action to make sure all data stays safe.”
