NB Liquor (ANBL) and Cannabis NB have resumed taking debit and credit as they investigate a potential cyber attack.

CEO Lori Stickles said on Jan. 7, the company noticed “some anomalies” in the system.

It forced the closure of the corporate stores for at least two days, with Cannabis NB only accepting cash. ANBL eventually re-opened to cash.

“While our work toward business-as-usual is ongoing behind the scenes, we are pleased to be able to return to normal payment options for our customers,” a statement said on the website. “We know that it has taken some time to restore services, and your support and understanding have been greatly appreciated by our teams.”

ANBL and Cannabis NB stores operate during regular store hours.
