Meer bestellingen bij Picnic na cyberbeveiligingsincident AH

AMSTERDAM (ANP) - Boodschappenbezorger Picnic ziet sinds maandagmorgen een toename in het aantal bestellingen voor dinsdag en heeft de bezorgcapaciteit daarom opgeschaald. Dat laat een woordvoerder desgevraagd weten. Bij Albert Heijn kunnen er online geen boodschappen worden besteld door een "cybersecurity incident", meldde de supermarktketen maandag.

"Als het doorgaat zoals nu, komen we uit op enkele duizenden extra bestellingen, reden waarom we momenteel de bezorgcapaciteit opschalen", stelt Picnic. "We hopen natuurlijk voor Albert Heijn dat de IT-storing snel opgelost wordt, maar als het nodig is, kunnen we de komende dagen bijspringen."

Meerdere merken van Ahold Delhaize, het moederbedrijf van Albert Heijn, hebben last van het incident. Het concern zegt uit voorzorg een aantal systemen offline te hebben gehaald. Ook de Belgische supermarkt Delhaize heeft last van het incident, maar die bezorgt maandag nog wel boodschappen, meldt persbureau Belga.

AALSMEER (ANP) - Een grote brand in een loods aan de Aalsmeerderweg in Aalsmeer veroorzaakt maandag een rookpluim die in de wijde omgeving te zien is. Er is veel materieel van de brandweer opgeroepen.

Vooralsnog heeft de brand geen impact op Schiphol, laat een woordvoerder weten. "Of er gevolgen zijn voor vertrekkende vluchten, wordt momenteel in kaart gebracht."


Cyberaanval ontregelt koeling in Franse supermarkten

RUNGIS (ANP/AFP) - Twee grote Franse supermarktketens zijn getroffen door een cyberaanval, waardoor koelinstallaties zijn gaan ontdooien. Dat bevestigen Intermarché en Coopérative U aan het Franse persbureau AFP.

Hackers zouden erin zijn geslaagd om "op afstand in tal van winkels het geforceerd ontdooien van de koelsystemen in gang te zetten", volgens de Franse nieuwszender BFM TV. Hierdoor gaan voorraden verse en diepgevroren producten verloren. Bij de aanval waren ongeveer 150 tot 200 winkels van Intermarché en bijna 100 vestigingen van Coopérative U het doelwit.

In Haguenau, in de Franse Elzas, kampen twee supermarkten alleen al met 270.000 euro aan verloren waren, schrijft BFM TV. Landelijk kan de schade in de miljoenen lopen.

London cabbies want Sadiq Khan to slam the brakes on robotaxis

London's minicab drivers want Mayor Sadiq Khan to put the brakes on robotaxis before they threaten thousands of jobs, with a new City Hall report casting doubt on whether the capital is ready for driverless cars. The Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain (IWGB) has called on Transport for London (TfL) to halt the rollout following the publication of a London Assembly Transport Committee report on Monday. The 66-page report makes uncomfortable reading for the companies hoping to unleash fleets of driverless taxis on London's streets. "As it stands, we currently have not heard sufficient evidence to persuade us that London should welcome autonomous passenger services," it concludes. Google's Waymo, British startup Wayve, and Chinese tech giant Baidu are among those gearing up to bring autonomous passenger services to London. Waymo has already been testing its cars in the capital and hopes to launch a commercial fleet of "low hundreds" this year, subject to regulatory approval. Uber and Wayve have secured TfL private hire licenses for vehicles offering supervised self-driving rides, meaning a human driver remains legally in control, and Freenow and Baidu are targeting a fully driverless launch in 2027. London has around 105,000 licensed private hire drivers, many of whom have reason to worry about cars that can do their jobs without them. "Every car feeds a family, and the prospect of not being able to earn money leaves us all with a deep uncertainty as to how we will provide for them. We already struggle to get by as it is," said Gholomreza "Rez" Kamyabi, an Uber driver and vice chair of the IWGB Private Hire Drivers union. The committee heard warnings that robotaxis could put large numbers of drivers out of work, and wants TfL to work with unions and operators to retrain, redeploy, and fund those affected. The IWGB, however, wants the rollout stopped. "The IWGB Private Hire Drivers Union opposes the rollout of driverless cars," said union president Alex Marshall, warning the technology could put thousands out of work while benefiting tech companies and investors. Jobs aren't the only concern. Under the government's interim Automated Passenger Services permitting scheme, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) issues operating permits. TfL must consent before a service launches in London, but cannot independently suspend or revoke a permit once issued. TfL also has no formal say over existing driverless trials, and operators aren't legally required to report incidents to it, although some have shared information voluntarily. The report details several incidents involving autonomous test vehicles, including a car reportedly entering a police crime scene cordon in April, another filmed turning the wrong way into a one-way street in June, and a reported collision with a motorcycle in July. It also questions how robotaxis would handle medical emergencies, passenger safety, and accessibility. None of the autonomous vehicles currently being trialed are wheelchair accessible. Then there's congestion. Robotaxis could lure passengers away from public transportation while adding more traffic as vehicles travel empty between fares. The committee wants operators to report their empty mileage so TfL can assess the impact. Londoners aren't exactly clamoring for the technology either. A YouGov survey commissioned by the committee found that 42 percent opposed autonomous passenger vehicles, compared with 29 percent who supported them. Just 29 percent said they would be likely to use one. The committee stopped short of calling for a ban, instead recommending tougher safety requirements, giving TfL powers to cap vehicle numbers, and a process to request the immediate suspension of permits. It also wants TfL to take over permitting when the Automated Vehicles Act is fully implemented, expected in the second half of 2027. At the time of the investigation, TfL had not yet published the criteria it would use to approve driverless passenger services. So London is preparing for robotaxis while its transport authority works out the rules, Assembly members question the benefits, and cab drivers demand the whole thing be stopped. Still, at least the cars won't complain about their working conditions.®
