The National Crime Agency (NCA) said it is investigating the attacks individually but are “mindful they may be linked”.
“The accessed data included information relating to a significant number of our current and past members.
“We have implemented measures to ensure that we prevent unauthorised access to our systems whilst minimising disruption for our members, customers, colleagues and partners.
The business said its back office and call centre services have been affected but Co-op’s more than 2,000 grocery stores and 800 funeral parlours across the UK are trading as usual.
“We are considering the incidents individually, however, we are mindful they may be linked and therefore this will remain under review.”
CEO Dr Richard Horne said: “The disruption caused by the recent incidents impacting the retail sector are naturally a cause for concern to those businesses affected, their customers and the public.
