This isn’t just a cyber-attack… this is an M&S cyber-attack. Since Easter, Marks and Spencer has seen empty shelves and a shutdown of online ordering which is still ongoing at the time of writing. Given that M&S would ordinarily see £3.8 million spent on its app and website every day, the impact is proving catastrophic.

In this news special, cyber-security reporter Joe Tidy speaks to impacted customers, cyber experts and, under anonymity, a former M&S employee. And it’s not just M&S: the Co-op has seen a similar security breach. One customer, a resident on the Isle of Skye, says the supply of provisions to the island is now worse than during the pandemic.
