Co-operative Group Limited in Tough Fight Against Ongoing Cyber Attacks, Exposes Members' Data

Faced with relentless cyber threats, Co-operative Group Limited is grappling to secure its members’ personal data. The company is navigating this sophisticated situation alongside the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and the National Crime Agency (NCA), implementing measures to block unauthorised access while aiming to minimise disruptions for members, clients, and partners.

As the investigations deepen, it has emerged that the cyber criminals managed to infiltrate one of the company’s systems. The compromised data encompasses a sizable number of the organisation’s current and past membership and includes personal details such as names, contact information, and dates of birth. However, according to the Co-op, members’ passwords, bank information, credit card details, and transaction records remain untouched, along with data pertaining to products or services with the Group.

Queries regarding the ongoing cybersecurity issue are handled by company representatives Russ Brady ([email protected]) and Cat Turner ([email protected]). In an era increasingly shaped by digital interactions, such attacks serve as a harsh reminder of the need for robust data security measures in business and individual transactions.
