In April 2025, a cyberattack disrupted operations and exposed consumer data at Marks & Spencer M&S, resulting in losses estimated at £300 million.

According to reports, the Scattered Spider ransomware organisation was responsible for the attack, which compelled M&S to turn off Click & Collect, contactless payments, and online ordering.

Details have not yet been confirmed by M&S or TCS, but the investigation should be finished by June 2025. Read More..
