Cybercriminals have claimed to have executed a severe hack against Co-op, significantly larger than the company acknowledged. They contacted the BBC, providing evidence of their infiltration and claiming to possess personal data of approximately 20 million members. Co-op had previously indicated minimal impact and assured that customer data was safe. However, these claims are contested by the hackers, who also assert involvement in attacks on M&S and Harrods. Screenshots shared by the hackers illustrate their communication with Co-op's security team, indicating a complex scheme of extortion.
Cyber criminals have told the BBC their hack against Co-op is far more serious than the company has previously told the public.
The hackers, who are using the name DragonForce, claim to have the private information of 20 million people who signed up to Co-op's membership scheme.
Co-op had previously stated that there was 'no evidence that customer data was compromised', despite hackers claiming otherwise.
Screenshots shared by hackers with the BBC include proof of their infiltration and internal discussions regarding the extortion process.
