Co-op Crisis: 6.5 Million Customers’ Data Stolen in Massive Cyber Heist!
Co-op’s CEO was left flabbergasted after a massive cyberattack pilfered personal data from 6.5 million members. Apparently, the thieves skipped their grocery list and went straight for the contact info! While no financial data was swiped, the breach felt like a personal affront to Co-op members and employees.
Hot Take:
Looks like the Co-op cyberattack has given new meaning to “grocery shopping”—only this time, the hackers were the ones filling their carts with 6.5 million personal data points. Maybe next time, Co-op should have a “buy one, get one free” sale on cybersecurity measures.
Key Points:
- Co-op’s massive April cyberattack resulted in data theft of 6.5 million members.
- No financial data was stolen, but personal contact information was compromised.
- The breach involved a social engineering attack leading to a password reset.
- Threat actors linked to Scattered Spider were behind the attack.
- UK’s NCA arrested four people suspected of involvement in multiple attacks.
