Which? offers advice to consumers concerned by Co-op hack

Lisa Webb, Which? Consumer Law Expert, said:

“Co-op shoppers will understandably be worried that their data has fallen into the hands of hackers who might try to exploit it, so it is vital that Co-op provides clear and timely updates to affected customers and supports them in taking steps to protect themselves.

"Anyone concerned they could be affected should keep a close eye on bank accounts and credit reports for suspicious activity. Also be wary of unexpected phone calls, emails or fake ‘customer support’ messages popping up on social media regarding the breach, as scammers might try to take further advantage of this cyber attack.”
