Around 500 supermarket stores in Sweden will be closing up shop due to an ongoing cyberattack

Coop Sweden has closed half of its 800 stores after its point-of-sale tills and self-service checkouts stopped working just before the weekend.

The supermarket itself was not targeted by hackers – but joins many organisations affected by an attack on a large software supplier that the company uses.

Cyber researchers say about 200 businesses have been hit by this “colossal” ransomware attack, which had mainly impacted the US.

U.S Cyber-security authorities believe the Russia-linked RE-VIL ransomware gang is responsible.

While the fate of TikTok remains uncertain in the U.S.—there is no shortage of possibilities.

Several investors are hoping to benefit from a new federal law that requires TikTok’s China-based parent company to sell the popular platform or face a ban.

This comes after ByteDance and TikTok filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government to block the law from going into effect.

Meanwhile, eight TikTok creators filed their own challenge, arguing the law violates their First Amendment rights to free speech.

But as the saga continues many media outlets are defending the platform.
