Co-op boss says sorry to 6.5m people who had data stolen in hack
The chief executive of Co-op has confirmed all 6.5 million of its members had their data stolen in a cyber-attack on the retailer in April. "I'm devastated that information was taken. I'm also devastated by the impact that it took on our colleagues as well as they tried to contain all of this," Shirine Khoury-Haq told BBC Breakfast in her first public interview since the hack. "There was no financial data, no transaction data but it was names and addresses and contact information that was lost," she added. Ms Khoury-Haq said she would not step down from her role, but said she was "incredibly sorry" for the attack. Co-op was one of three retailers, alongside Marks and Spencer (M&S) and Harrods who were victims of cyber-attacks in spring this year. Co-op announced on 30 April that it had been hacked, initially saying it would only have a "small impact" on its call centre and back office. But days later, after being contacted by the alleged hackers, BBC News revealed that customer and employee data had been accessed. Co-op then admitted the criminals had "accessed data relating to a significant number of our current and past members". BBC News later discovered from the alleged attackers that the company disconnected the internet from IT networks in the nick of time to stop the hackers from deploying ransomware and so causing even more disruption. M&S also had customer data stolen, and is still getting its systems back to normal after huge disruption which has cost it millions of pounds. Last week, the National Crime Agency (NCA) said four people had been arrested in connection with the hacks on Co-op and M&S These were a 20-year-old woman was arrested in Staffordshire, and three males - aged between 17 and 19 - were detained in London and the West Midlands. They were apprehended on suspicion of Computer Misuse Act offences, blackmail, money laundering and participating in the activities of an organised crime group.

Rio Says Trump Tariffs Added $300 Million in Aluminum Costs
(Bloomberg) — Mining giant Rio Tinto Group (RIO) said US tariffs on its Canada-made aluminum (ALI=F) generated gross costs of more than $300 million in the first half, in another sign of how President Donald Trump's trade agenda is shaking up metals supply chains. The Dutch Intersection Is Coming to Save Your Life Advocates Fear US Agents Are Using 'Wellness Checks' on Children as a Prelude to Arrests LA Homelessness Drops for Second Year Manhattan, Chicago Murder Rates Drop in 2025, Officials Say The world's second-biggest miner is also Canada's largest aluminum producer, and sells the vast bulk of the metal in the US. Rio said Wednesday it incurred gross costs of $321 million associated with US tariffs on aluminum, but added that a 'substantial part' has been clawed back from higher premiums on US sales. Metals industries are adjusting to the trade tumult unleashed by Trump this year. He slapped blanket 25% import fees on steel and aluminum in March, before raising those to 50% in June. A planned 50% tariff on copper triggered market mayhem, and the administration is probing potential measures on other metals. Rio said premiums in the US market — paid on top of exchange prices — rapidly adapted to the initial 25% tariff, but were not fully compensating for the 50% level by the end of the second quarter. The company shipped about 723,000 tons of aluminum to the US in the first half — equivalent to about three-quarters of its output from Canada. Futures tracking aluminum prices in the US have pointed to higher costs for American buyers, and industry executives have warned the tariffs risk crushing American demand. Earlier this month, beverage maker Constellation Brands Inc. said it expects aluminum tariffs to cost the company about $20 million over the remainder of its fiscal year. Contracts linked to the premium on the metal delivered to the Midwest have almost tripled this year to reach a record near 66 cents a pound. 'The impact of tariffs is still feeding through to inflation and sentiment,' Rio said in an overview of the US economy in its first-half production report. —With assistance from Paul-Alain Hunt.
