Co-op Says Hack Stole Data of 6.5 Million Members

UK retailer Co-op confirmed that hackers stole personal data from 6.5 million members during a large-scale cyberattack in April. The breach disrupted company operations, causing temporary shutdowns across its systems and triggering food shortages in grocery stores. Co-op says hack stolen data included sensitive member information, though the company has not disclosed the specific details compromised.

The cyberattack marked one of the most disruptive incidents for the retailer in recent years. Customers faced empty shelves, and point-of-sale systems experienced delays, compounding the impact felt across the supply chain. Co-op says hack stolen information may affect operations beyond the initial outage, as investigations continue to assess the full scope of the breach.

The company has not confirmed whether it has contacted affected members directly or if any ransom was demanded. Authorities have launched an investigation. For more details on the breach and its impact, read the full article at the following link:
