BBC reporter Joe Tidy received a letter from hackers claiming to be behind M&S and Co-op hacks.

The hackers shared evidence proving that they had stolen a huge amount of private customer and employee information.

They were clearly frustrated that Co-Op wasn't giving in to their ransom demands.

Some researchers say DragonForce are based in Malaysia , while others say Russia .

It's not known where they are located, and it's not clear if they are behind the attacks.

In the early stages of the M&S hack, unknown sources told cyber news site Bleeping Computer that evidence is pointing to a loose collective of cyber criminals known as Scattered Spider .
