The UK retail giant giant confirms that hackers stole all 6.5 million customers files

The Managing Director of the UK’s total retail group said on Wednesday that hackers had stolen the personal data of all the company’s customers during a April Cyberettack.

CEO CO-OP Group Shirine Khoury-Haq said News of the BBC That hackers copy the list of members of the company of 6.5 million members, but this co-op closed its network before hackers could lock its ransomware systems.

Members’ data include names, addresses and contact details.

The termination of the retailer’s network then led to extensive internal disorder in all offices and groceries of the United Kingdom.

The breach of Co-op in April was part of a broader hacking campaign aimed at the UK retail sector, which also saw the theft of an indefinite amount of Marks & Spencer’s customer data and a Cyberettack attempt in Harrods. The cyber bishops were attributed to the scattered spider, a collective mainly young hackers who use deception tactics to deceive companies that help companies to access their network.

Earlier in July, the United Kingdom authorities arrested four people for alleged connections to the retail trade Cyberettacks, including a 20 -year -old woman, two men aged 19, and a youth of 17 years.

Since cyberspine, hackers were transported to target the airline and transport industry, as well as insurance companies – sectors that store huge amounts of consumer data.

It is not known how much the breach will cost the co-op. According to A retail news shopCo-op had no cyberspace insurance at the time of Hack, which could lead to the company that would charge heavy financial expenses.
