       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...More details: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvg85r4yr5jo

       @gcluley east of england co-op, though not directly affected by a data leak, were affected by lack of stock, as they do take some of their stock from Manchester's warehouses afaik.

       @gcluley in villages/ruralish parts like where I am a Co-Op may be the only reasonably useful local grocery store so spending £40 isn't too difficult... especially at their prices! With the £10 discount then it'll almost make it like normal supermarket prices. 😅  (TBH I appreciate that they exist despite the inflated pricing, it's about a 3 minute walk away, which is better than a 30+ minute round trip car journey to the nearest big town for Tesco or Morrisons.)Typically we wouldn't spend that much given it is so close and tends to be small frequent shops... but a couple of their pizzas, a couple of bottles of red... not an unusual "can't be arsed" weekend dinner here... throw in a handful of extras and I think we can do it.Sure, I'd certainly rather not have had my data lost... but I'll take the tenner all the same, "free" bottle of wine with a quick pizza dinner! I'm certain there are millions of co-op members for whom this scenario does not apply of course.

       @gcluley At their prices it's hard not to.
