'Proactive steps' | Co-op staff told to keep cameras on during meetings after cyber attack

Co-op workers have been told to keep their cameras on during remote meetings and avoid recording video calls, following its recent cyber attack.

The retailer, which has over 7,000 stores across the UK, was forced to shut down parts of its IT systems this week after hackers tried to gain access to the firm’s systems. 

It follows similar cyber attacks on other retailers including M&S and Harrods.

Now, the company is battening down the hatches and taking extra precautions to avoid further threats.
