The Co-op has shut down parts of its IT system in response to an attempted cyber attack, following a similar incident involving M&S. The company acted swiftly to contain the issue and reduce disruption to operations, with all stores remaining functional. They thanked stakeholders for their understanding during this period. The National Cyber Security Centre is involved in the response, while experts emphasize the importance of securing supply chains from cyber threats, especially in light of recent hacking trends that exploit vulnerabilities in connections and trust between companies.
As a result, we have taken proactive steps to keep our systems safe, which has resulted in a small impact to some of our back office and call centre services.
Today's hackers don't just break into computers; they break the trust between companies by abusing supplier links, employee accounts and APIs all along the supply chain.
