Belgian investment firm Sofina joined the round, adding to its European portfolio that includes CoachHub, Graphcore, SellerX, and Dott. Rohlik operates online supermarkets in the Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary, and Germany under brands such as rohlik.cz, gurkerl.at, kifli.hu, and knuspr.de, with planned launches in Hamburg, Milan, Bucharest, and Madrid. The company is profitable in the Czech Republic and Hungary; one million customers generated €500 million in revenue in 2021. CEO Tomáš Čupr said the capital increase will help Rohlik become among the winners in its category. The article also notes intensifying competition from quick-commerce players Flink and Gorillas, with Carrefour and REWE having invested in Flink.
Major €220M Series D for a leading European online grocery platform expanding into new markets; significant for the e-commerce and retail ecosystem, though not directly AdTech-specific.

Cyberattack on Flink: Hackers Demand Ransom Directly from Customers
After a cyberattack on the German rapid delivery service Flink, hackers have stolen personal data of about one million customers and 13,000 employees. Because Flink refused to negotiate or pay a ransom, the attackers are now directly contacting individual customers via email, demanding 0.005 Ether (about €11.50) to prevent data sale. This 'triple extortion' tactic is unusual in German-speaking regions. The stolen data includes names, email addresses, postal addresses, and phone numbers, potentially also delivery-related details. Flink has stopped the breach, which occurred through a former employee's compromised account, and is cooperating with forensic experts and authorities. Legal experts note that customers may claim damages under GDPR, especially after a recent German Federal Court ruling that loss of control over personal data alone constitutes compensable damage.
