#2Wonder how you would go about fixing that. If you didn't want to pay. Just wipe everything/start new from backups?

#3"Temporarily closes". The title without a timeframe implies permanent closure.

#4This explains the sign outside of my local Coop saying they were closed due to IT issues. I imagined it was a catastrophic scenario either from a ransomware or some really bad roll out.

Totally. The article definitely caught my attention for that reason. The difference between those two scenarios is an order of magnitude.

It takes months for a large org just to prepare for a disaster recovery test. Wiping everything clean for a chain of this size is likey unthinkable. It's probably cheaper to just pay, resume operations and patch afterwards.

#10Coop gives an update on their homepage. It does not sound especially optimistic. They write that shopping online is open, and that stores in a few specific regions are open, and that they "hope to open more stores as soon as possible".
(Swedish:https://www.coop.se/Globala-sidor/stangda-butiker/)
It is hard to imagine what this means for their supply chain and groceries currently in warehouses and on order. If they cannot open at least on Monday, what will happen? Will their compatitors be able to swallow the demand? The need of groceries will stay they same. The size of this problem is not to underestimate. Coop has approximately 20% market share in Sweden.
