Boots had suspended payments using loyalty card points after a cyber attack on its customer database.

Hackers broke into Advantage Card accounts to steal customers’ reward points to spend on themselves.

The issue affected less than 1% of the company’s 14.4 million active loyalty card users – around 150,000 people.

No credit card information had been taken.
