M&S online shopping service to return in days after cyber attack shut down

Online shopping is set to return to Marks and Spencer (M&S) after being shut down more than a month ago following a cyber attack. M&S was hit by a major cyber attack back in April with hackers gaining access to the company's IT systems through a third party after 'human error'. Customer personal data, which could have included names, email addresses, postal addresses and dates of birth, was also taken by hackers. As a result of the cyber attack, M&S was forced to pause all online and app orders and temporarily lay off staff at its Castle Donington clothing and homewares logistics centre.

After 46-day cyberattack pause, M&S resumes online orders

By James Davey and Paul Sandle LONDON (Reuters) - British retailer Marks & Spencer resumed taking online orders for clothing lines on Tuesday after a 46-day hiatus following a cyberattack. Shares in M&S, one of the best-known names in British business, were up 3% after it restarted standard home delivery in England, Scotland and Wales for the majority of its clothing range. "It's not the full range at the moment, we've focused on best sellers and newness," an M&S spokesperson said. "We'll be bringing product online everyday so customers will see that grow over the coming days." M&S said delivery to Northern Ireland will resume in the "coming weeks", as will click and collect services, next-day delivery, nominated-day delivery and international ordering. The 141-year-old M&S stopped taking clothing and home orders through its website and app on April 25 following problems with contactless pay and click and collect services over the Easter holiday weekend. It first disclosed it had been managing a "cyber incident" on April 22. M&S said last month it expected online disruption to continue into July and forecast the attack would cost it about 300 million pounds ($404 million) in lost operating profit in its 2025/26 financial year, though it hopes to halve the impact through insurance and cost control. The group said hackers broke into its systems by tricking employees at a third-party contractor, skirting its digital defences to launch a cyberattack. ($1 = 0.7429 pounds)
