The retailer says "sustained malicious attempts by hackers" is affecting its IT systems.

A Co-op spokesperson told the BBC deliveries to its stores were impacted by the "sustained malicious attempts by hackers to access our systems". Cyber criminals behind the attack claim to have the private information of 20 million people who signed up to Co-op's membership scheme, but the firm has not confirmed that number.
