Yes, the Co-op lost your data. Have a £10 shopping voucher

The Co-op is offering a £10 shopping discount to members after a cyber-attack saw hackers steal personal data including names, home address, email addresses, and membership card numbers.

The one-off offer — available until 24 June — is only available if you spend more than £40 in a shop at Co-op.

It’s not much of an offer – how often does someone spend £40 in a shop at Co-op?

Whether £10 off a shop compensates for having your personal information leaked is a question only you can answer. Personally I’d rather you’d not have lost my data, thanks.

Mind you, there are so many companies who don’t offer ANYTHING after a leak of customer data…
