This incident comes just days after a similar attack targeted Marks & Spencer, causing significant disruption.
The Co-op confirmed the attempted breach in a letter to staff on Tuesday, stating it had “taken proactive steps to keep our systems safe”, according to The Guardian.
A spokesperson said: “We have recently experienced attempts to gain unauthorised access to some of our systems.
“As a result, we have taken proactive steps to keep our systems safe, which has resulted in a small impact to some of our back office and call centre services.
“We are working hard to reduce any disruption to our services and would like to thank our colleagues, members, partners and suppliers for their understanding during this period.”
