still not at full capacity, and its latest statement revealing some personal information may have been stolen during the attack.. In its latest statement, the fashion, food and homeware

retailer said: "We have written to customers today to let them know that unfortunately some personal customer information has been taken. "Importantly there is no evidence that the

information has been shared and it does not include useable card or payment details, or account passwords, so there is no need for customers to take any action." Co-op has stated it is

now in the "recovery stage," with representatives stating more stock was set to make its way to shelves over the last weekend. READ MORE: CO-OP SHOPPER SAYS IT 'FELT LIKE
