London Drugs has temporarily closed all of its stores in Western Canada as it grapples with a “cybersecurity incident.”

In a statement Monday, the retailer and pharmacy chain said it learned it was the victim of a cybersecurity incident on Sunday, when it first closed its stores “out of an abundance of caution.”

London Drugs, a Richmond, B.C.-based business which opened in 1945 with a name meant to be a nod to England's capital, sells everything from pharmaceuticals to groceries and electronics.Despite its stores being shut, the chain said pharmacists are still able to help with urgent needs. It advised customers to phone their local store's pharmacy to make arrangements.

The incident facing London Drugs comes a month after discount chain Giant Tiger Stores Ltd. reported some of its customers' data was compromised in an “incident” linked to a third-party vendor it uses.
