All 6.5m members of the Co-op had data stolen in the cyber attack against the UK retailer earlier this year, the business revealed.

Shirine Khoury-Haq, boss of the retail and funeral care group, said she was ‘devastated’ by the impact of the attack on workers and members. 

In late April, the company shut off parts of its IT systems after the attack, in which hackers accessed and extracted members’ personal data.

Khoury-Haq said ‘names, addresses and contact information’ for all of its members were accessed.
