Hackers have attempted to break into
Co-op's systems, forcing the retailer to
shut down some of its operations
to block the criminals.

In order to stop the hack,
Co-op told Sky News it took
"proactive steps" that
"resulted in a small impact to some of our
back office and call centre services".

Co-op's shops and funeral homes
are trading as usual and Co-op members
and customers are not being asked
"to do anything differently
at this point", said a spokesperson.

"We will continue to provide
updates as necessary."]
