Co-op is offering 25% off shops over £40 for members as a ‘thank you' gesture
Co-op has announced it will be giving members £10 off a minimum spend of £40, following a cyberattack that occurred in May. This equates to a 25% discount.
The food retailer, which revealed it's only just started to recover from the attack, had huge amounts of customer data stolen. The hackers also compromised stock availability.
As a 'thank you' gesture, Co-op members, many of whom will have been victims of the scam, will receive the discount. The deal does not apply to non-members.
In May, Co-op experienced a cyberattack, in which customer and employee data were stolen. Parts of the company's IT system were shut down, which also resulted in empty shelves.
Following the hack, Co-op released a statement apologising to customers. The company also assured members it was doing everything to bring the organisation 'back to normal as quicky, and as safely, as possible.'
Since the attack, Co-op has been gradually restocking its stores.
A few days ago, Matt Hood, the managing director for Co-op Food, reported that the company's 2,300 food stores are now returning to usual trading.

Putin tells Russians 'the whole of Ukraine is ours' in 'disdainful' speech
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Vladimir Putin promised 'catastrophic' consequences for Ukraine and claimed that the Russian and Ukrainian people were 'one nation' in a conference this week. The Russian president answered questions on a variety of issues at the St Petersburg International Economic Forum, and said Ukraine could lose more territory if it keeps rejecting Russia's conditions for peace. 'I have said many times that I consider the Russian and Ukrainian people to be one nation. In this sense, all of Ukraine is ours,' he claimed. 'We have a saying, or a parable. Where the foot of a Russian soldier steps, that is ours.' He also said if Ukraine used a dirty bomb against Russia, which Kyiv has repeatedly said they will not do, the consequences would be 'catastrophic'. 'This would be a colossal mistake on the part of those whom we call neo-Nazis on the territory of today's Ukraine.' The outlandish remarks come as Putin has refused to give up any land taken from Ukraine after their 2022 invasion, which sparked all-out war. Russia has gained control over a part of Ukraine roughly the size of the state of Virginia, and is refusing to give it back, stalling peace talks. Moscow's claims to four Ukrainian regions and Crimea are illegal, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly rejected the notion that Russians and Ukrainians are one people. Putin also boasted about Russia's economic outlook at the event in St Petersburg, claiming Russia managed to curb inflation and ease its reliance on energy exports. His remarks were a far cry from other statements by some members of his government, who warned at the same conference that Russia could face a recession. Economic Minister Maxim Reshetnikov had said that the country is 'on the brink of going into a recession'. Putin mentioned the recession warnings but pointed out that manufacturing industries have posted steady growth, allowing the country to reduce its reliance on oil and gas exports. More Trending He's used the annual forum to highlight Russia's economic prowess and encourage foreign investment, but Western executives have shunned it after Moscow sent troops into Ukraine in 2022, leaving it to business leaders from Asia, Africa and Latin America. Putin said the growth of military industries helped develop new technologies that have become available to the civilian sector. He vowed to continue military modernisation, relying on lessons learned during the fighting in Ukraine. 'We will raise the capability of the Russian armed forces, modernise military infrastructure and equip the troops with cutting-edge equipment,' he claimed.

Full list of DWP PIP and Universal Credit payment changes on the way next year
New rules have been proposed to reform the way PIP and Universal Credit is handed out. In a bill published on Wednesday, the government said they will be giving additional protection to the most vulnerable, as well as enough time for people to plan for the future. Labour said they wanted to fix the 'broken social security system', with millions not working. Ending reassessments for those classed as having a severe condition who will never be able to work. They will also be paid the higher rate of Universal Credit health top up of £97 per week. The DWP said they are also bringing in the Right to Try Guarantee which will mean trying to work will not lead to reassessment. Universal Credit rates are also set to be rebalanced by reducing health element for new claims to £50 from April. All of those affected by the reforms will be offered support from a dedicated Pathways to Work adviser. The DWP said: 'All of those affected by reforms will be actively contacted and given the offer of a conversation about their support needs, goals and aspirations; offered one-to-one follow-on support, and given help to access additional work, health and skills support that can meet their needs.' To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video The proposed package to PIP includes: Reintroducing reassessments for people on incapacity benefits who have the capability to work so they are not written off. Changing the eligibility requirement to a minimum score of four on at least one of the daily living activities to receive the daily living element of the benefit. Potentially delaying access to the health element of Universal Credit until someone is aged 22. Reinvesting savings from this into work support and training opportunities through the Youth Guarantee. The DWP said since the pandemic the number of PIP awards has more than doubled to 34,000 a month, with around 1,000 people signing on to it everyday. There has been a surge in anxiety and depression being reported as the main condition. More Trending The government is also aiming to get one million young people in work, education or training. Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall said: 'Our social security system is at a crossroads. Unless we reform it, more people will be denied opportunities, and it may not be there for those who need it. 'This legislation represents a new social contract and marks the moment we take the road of compassion, opportunity and dignity.
