The Co-op, a British supermarket and services company, is battling a cyberattack. To mitigate the threat, staff are instructed to keep their webcams on during meetings and verify attendees' identities. Remote access is shut down, and employees are urged to avoid sharing sensitive information online. While the Co-op claims the attack's impact is minimal, the precautionary measures suggest a more serious concern about potential insider threats. This follows a similar cyberattack reported at Marks & Spencer.
