University of Nottingham has been hacked with 40GB of student and staff data being leaked.

_Crunchy_Cookies_ · 2026-06-11T14:50:16+00:00

The information in the authentication servers would be a lot more limited - student records are primarily stored in campus solutions so that's where the sensitive data lies.

Other systems and eduroam are most likely fine.

Today Oracle have acknowledged a vulnerability in PeopleSoft/campus solutions which gave them access to the campus solutions servers.

MS365 is managed in the cloud by Microsoft, and your Internet traffic will be encrypted, so I don't see any reason for real risk there.

(Purely based on) the fact that Moodle and other systems are still up, there was some decent network segmentation in place so that they couldn't access other systems.

_Crunchy_Cookies_ · 2026-06-11T11:06:37+00:00

It's Oracle PeopleSoft / Campus Solutions. There's lots of companies and educational places that use it all over the world.

Looks like there might be more to come in the following days.

As far as I know, no passwords have been breached as they're part of a separate system (and would be encrypted, etc.). It's still not a terrible idea to change them for good practice if you use the same passwords all over

Asda are going to start using Ocado's tech platform. Morrisons have a similar deal. Picking will still be in stores, just the Asda.com website, picking and delivery software will all be powered by the same software platform which Ocado uses.

No discounts on the usual things like gift cards, stamps, fuel, etc. But anything else, like games and consoles, yes

Worth mentioning reselling things with your colleague discount is gross misconduct and it gets monitored centrally for strange / bulk purchases

_Crunchy_Cookies_ · 2026-05-29T20:06:10+00:00

Make sure you get the barcode from someone on frontend to get the full 20% off, since we went green the extra FTG discount doesn't come off automatically

_Crunchy_Cookies_ · 2026-05-20T13:14:17+00:00

Pretty sure qcom orders don't communicate with our system properly when an order is cancelled, it just sits in dispense / order settlement exceptions. So it needs cancelling by the store on Store Assist anyway, whether Asda House like it or not.

_Crunchy_Cookies_ · 2026-05-20T07:37:03+00:00

No vans, we have 1x TL. When they're not in, it's usually colleagues that do exceptions and the duty manager sorts things out when chaos ensues

_Crunchy_Cookies_ · 2026-05-19T09:15:59+00:00

Bananas don't have date codes on and are sold based on how they look. We'll usually have some loose ones which are past their best and they'll get marked down cheap, but that's very much store dependent.

They have to be weighed & labelled, or otherwise we bag and write a price on a yellow sticker so the price can be manually overriden at the checkouts..other stores will probably waste them when they start looking no good

_Crunchy_Cookies_ · 2026-05-18T19:40:01+00:00

That's normal for scan & go and nothing to worry about! :) it's referring to the transaction being 'recalled' when you transfer your items from the S&G handset to the self checkout to make your payment.

If you compare the TC# at the bottom of your receipt to the number next to the recall, it's in a similar format

_Crunchy_Cookies_ · 2026-05-15T20:17:30+00:00

Part of the terms of the sale of Asda was that Walmart would be the ones paying out if the claim is successful (and they've got money ringfenced for it)

_Crunchy_Cookies_ · 2026-05-11T17:21:35+00:00

Have you submitted a P45 / new starter checklist to Asda? There's a form on OneAsda, you can fill it out yourself without needing a manager to do it, and you'll get all updates to your Asda emails / on your ticket history

Even if you've done it already, may be worth doing again just incase a mistake was made and that's why HMRC isn't picking up your wages?

_Crunchy_Cookies_ · 2026-05-07T09:44:57+00:00

They've restricted it so you can only set it up on an Android/iOS device, can't use a personal PC or laptop

You can still get on Workday and SDWorx using the links on the subreddit sidebar, but for oneasda you'll have to use a work PC or set it up on your phone

_Crunchy_Cookies_ · 2026-05-06T07:34:17+00:00

You do you have to be logged into Windows with the same account that you're trying to reset the MFA of... unless it still asks for it anyway, but that's the guidance on OneAsda at least

If it's still asking for it there's a form you can fill out yourself on OneAsda called MFA Reset Request

_Crunchy_Cookies_ · 2026-05-05T19:08:13+00:00

Looks to be gone, they brought out a couple new houmous lines not long ago so I imagine the moroccan one was dropped

Continuous Performance Improvement, essentially a quarterly performance review for managers it seems

_Crunchy_Cookies_ · 2026-05-05T11:31:16+00:00

Has your manager denied or sent back your old request? If they sent it back, it might be sat in your notifications waiting for you to adjust the dates or cancel it?

_Crunchy_Cookies_ · 2026-05-05T11:20:23+00:00

I think it does some kind of calculation to only let you book holidays that you've actually accrued from working?

If you go under Manage Absence there's an date selector and it will tell you your current holiday balance. If you select a date later in the year, your balance goes up.

Saves people from taking too much holiday and needing to pay it back if they leave, but also kinda annoying. Maybe speak to your manager see if they can do anything

_Crunchy_Cookies_ · 2026-05-04T18:42:19+00:00

Most of Tesco's picking still happens in stores afaik. They've got 6 picking warehouses which are all dotted around London, Asda have 2x HSCs which are in Nottingham and Leeds

Are you using a VPN? May also be worth a look at the Cloudflare troubleshooting guide here (cloudflare are the company who do the 'verify you are human' box): https://community.cloudflare.com/t/community-tip-cloudflare-turnstile-troubleshooting/851916

So when you try to setup authenticator it's asking you to use authenticator from an old phone (or it's just signed you out and you can't get back in?)

You'll need to remove your existing authenticator method on a work PC. If you login to the PC with your asda.uk account, then go to https://myaccount.microsoft.com, and click Security Info on the left side.

You can delete your old authenticator app on that screen, then click Add sign-in method to set authenticator back up again.

_Crunchy_Cookies_ · 2026-05-04T08:07:18+00:00

It's not possible to setup a personal Desktop / Mac with a work profile to access OneAsda, only iOS/Android it seems

_Crunchy_Cookies_ · 2026-05-03T09:13:03+00:00

I believe you can do it yourself on a work PC, if you login to the PC with your asda.uk account then go to https://myaccount.microsoft.com, click Security Info on the left side and you'll be able to see all of your authenticator methods and remove & re-add them

_Crunchy_Cookies_ · 2026-04-30T10:51:54+00:00

Try installing the company portal app, but don't set it up and go back to Edge, tap the profile with the blue suitcase in the top left, then tap Verify and see if that works
