UK retail giant Co-op warns of disruption as it battles cyberattack


The U.K. grocery and retail giant said the unspecified cyber incident is affecting its back office and call centers.

The spokesperson said the company’s back office and call center functions are facing some disruption as a result. The Co-op — one of the largest food retailers in the U.K. with more than 5 million members — said its stores were operating normally, and that it was not asking customers “to do anything differently” at this time. News of the disruption at The Co-op comes days after U.K. retailer Marks & Spencer confirmed a cyberattack that left customers unable to pick up their orders.
