- Marks & Spencer has resumed online orders after a cyberattack that is expected to cost the retailer £300 million in profits this year.
- The cyberattack, which M&S disclosed on April 22, disrupted online operations and halted contactless payments, potentially compromising customer data.
- Two hacker groups, DragonForce and Scattered Spider, have been linked to the attack; DragonForce reportedly demanded ransom, while Scattered Spider is known for social engineering tactics.
- M&S revealed last month that the attack was caused by “human error”.
- The National Cyber Crime Unit (NCA) is investigating the cyber incidents affecting the retail sector and encourages businesses to implement effective cybersecurity measures.
