US EditionCo-op updates on recovery after cyber attack forced empty shelves
- The Manchester-based Co-op group announced on May 14, 2025, that its systems are now running normally after a major cyber attack disrupted operations.
- The attack, described as highly sophisticated, forced the Co-op to shut parts of its systems early to protect its network and data from malicious third-party hackers.
- The incident caused significant supply chain issues, leaving many of its 2,300 food stores with empty shelves and some stores unable to accept card or contactless payments.
- A spokesperson stated that the company is currently working through the recovery process and carefully restoring access to its systems in a controlled and secure way. They also confirmed that although some members’ names and contact information were compromised, no banking details were accessed.
- The Co-op is working with suppliers to restock stores, anticipates improved availability from this weekend, and highlights ongoing investigations as the National Crime Agency considers potential links to other recent retail cyber attacks.
