Co-OP revealed that the “advanced electronic attack” earlier this year had achieved 80 million pounds of profits, which confirms the cost of the escalation of electronic crimes of the largest companies in Britain.
In the results published this morning, The Mutual said that the penetration is the failure of grocery and funeral operations, leaving gaps on the shelves and delaying services, with an estimated £ 206 million to revenue.
The group said it had acted “quickly and decisively” by temporarily closing a number of systems to contain the breach. Priority has been given to basic services, including funerals, while shares were transferred to rural “Lifeline” stores and independent community partners to reduce the turmoil.
The direct financial strike included 20 million pounds at one time costs to treat the accident, as well as broader commercial losses. The cooperative also sought to reduce customer frustration by giving members a 10 -pound discount on a store of 40 pounds.
The numbers highlight how electronic attacks have become a serious issue in the public paper of large companies. CO-OP is the latest big name to join a growing list of companies that have been hunting in Crosshairs this year.
