Gloating email from M&S hackers to CEO confirms motives behind cyber attack
A email has come to light sent to the boss of Marks & Spencer from a now notorious gang of online hackers called DragonForce, who are also believed to be behind an attack on the Co-op A gloating email from a gang of cyber hackers to Marks & Spencer has emerged. The message - to M&S boss Stuart Machin - confirms for the first time that retailer had been targeted by the ransomware group. In it, they wrote: 'We have marched the ways from China all the way to the UK and have mercilessly raped your company and encrypted all the servers." It then says "The dragon wants to speak" before giving a link to the darknet - - a hidden part of the internet. The email, seen by the BBC, was sent on April 23 from the hacker group called DragonForce. The gang apparently used the account of an employee from the Indian IT giant Tata Consultancy Services, which has provided IT services to M&S for over a decade. M&S has been left reeling by the cyber attack, which has seen its online clothing, homewares and beauty sales for more than six weeks. The retailer has already estimated it could wipe £300million off its annual profits. Online has become an increasingly important to M&S - as for other retailers - and had more than 10 million 'active' customers and over £1.3billion a year of sales. Join Money Saving Club's specialist topics According to the BBC, the email is in broken English and includes a racist term. It was sent to Mr Machin and seven other executives. As well as bragging about infecting M&S's IT systems with ransomware, they also claim to have stolen the private data of millions of customers. A link in the email connects to a portal on the so-called darknet for DragonForce, the ransomware used in the attack. The hackers wrote: 'let's get the party started. Message us, we will make this fast and easy for us.' The message also appears to suggest the crooks may have details about M&S's cyber insurance policy, saying 'we know we can both help each other handsomely : ))'. M&S has said insurance should reduce the overall £300million hit. M&S has refused to say if the company has paid a ransom to the hackers. M&S is among a wave of companies struck by ransomware - a form of malicious software designed to burrow into companies' systems, steal commercially sensitive information, which is then locked, with crooks demanding their victims pay money before handing them the key. The Co-op and Harrods have also been hit recently. The gang has previously claimed the Co-op narrowly avoided being locked out of its own computer systems. On May 21, M&S said it hoped to resume online sales 'within weeks'. It also warned its operations could be out of action until as late as July, though it expected to begin resuming orders sooner than that. The gang known as DragonForce has been implicated in the first two of those, but speculation is rife about who -or what -it is. While it seems to have first emerged up to two years, experts say they use operate in a similar way to others that specialise in creating ransomware Another gang known as Scattered Spider -with members said to be aged as young as 16 -is said to have used DragonForce's ransomware in the M&S attack. DragonForce's rumoured link to Russia has been fuelled by the fact that a number of other ransomware attacks have been launched from the country in the past. Other reports have linked DragonForce to a pro-Palestinian group located in Malaysia. There has also been speculation about the group's motives, and that they could be political in some way.

India vows to keep up development in Kashmir after tourist attack
NEW DELHI, June 6 (Reuters) - India is committed to efforts to develop its restive territory of Jammu and Kashmir, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday, accusing neighbour Pakistan of seeking to destroy livelihoods there with April's deadly attack on tourists. He was speaking on his first visit to the Himalayan region since Islamist attackers targeted Hindu tourists in the popular Pahalgam area, killing 26 men, triggering hostilities between the nuclear-armed neighbours that ended in ceasefire last month. "The atmosphere of development that emerged in Jammu and Kashmir will not be hindered by the attack ... I will not let development stop here," Modi said in remarks after inaugurating infrastructure projects. Key among these was a $5-billion rail link between the Kashmir Valley and the rest of India, which has been more than 40 years in the making and features the world's highest railway arch bridge. Others include highways, city roads and a new medical college. India has accused Pakistan of backing the April attack, a claim denied by Islamabad, and they engaged in four days of fierce fighting last month before agreeing to a ceasefire. Pakistan aimed to disrupt the livelihoods of the poor in Kashmir, who rely heavily on tourism, Modi said, adding that he would face down any obstacle to regional development. Pakistan's foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Modi's remarks. Last month, Islamabad said a just and peaceful resolution of the Kashmir dispute was essential to ensure lasting peace in the region, known for its snow-topped mountains, scenic lakes, lush meadows, and tulip gardens. The region, which drew more than 3 million visitors last year, is at the heart of the hostility between the old foes, both of which claim it in full, but rule it in part and have fought two of their three wars over it. India also accuses Pakistan of supporting Islamist militants battling security forces in Jammu and Kashmir, but Islamabad denies the accusation. Trains run in the Kashmir Valley but the new link is its first to the wider Indian railway network. Apart from boosting the regional economy, it is expected to help revive tourism, which plummeted after the April attack. ($1=85.7500 Indian rupees)

Birla's paints unit files antitrust case against India's Asian Paints, sources say
NEW DELHI, June 6 (Reuters) - Aditya Birla Group's Indian paints venture has filed an antitrust complaint against market leader Asian Paints for allegedly abusing its market position, three sources said, a case that could lead to a stand off between the two industry rivals. Asian Paints is India's biggest player with a 52% market share, but it has lost some of its dominance after Birla Opus launched in February 2024 and grew rapidly to garner a near 7% market share by March this year, Elara Capital data shows. The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has in recent weeks been reviewing a confidential complaint filed by Birla Opus alleging abuse of its position by Asian Paints, said the two sources, who declined to be named as the discussions are private. The CCI is yet to decide if the complaint holds merit and needs a broader probe by its investigations unit, or should be dismissed. One of the sources familiar with the matter said the allegations from Birla say Asian Paints ( opens new tab had asked its retail dealers to not stock the rival's products and had warned of restricting their credit facilities if they do so. Birla Opus, the paints arm of the Aditya Birla Group company Grasim ( opens new tab, did not respond to Reuters queries. The group is led by billionaire Kumar Mangalam Birla, India's seventh richest person ranked by Forbes. Asian Paints and the CCI did not respond to Reuters queries. Reuters is first to report the antitrust case, details of which - in line with watchdog's policy - are not made public. The first source added that Asian Paints also allegedly told its dealers it will curtail its supplies to them if they put up hoardings of Birla paint products or place them at prominent places. Asian Paints has not been told about the case, according to a source with direct knowledge. But it had received some media queries and has told the CCI in a confidential letter - seen by Reuters - that the company must be allowed fair comment before any decision is taken. "The rapid and substantial growth of Birla Opus demonstrated the absence of any significant barriers to entry or anti-competitive conduct by existing players," Asian Paints letter to the CCI stated. Birla has expanded its paints business in the $9.5 billion sector, starting last year with an investment of $1.2 billion, with five plants operational now. Asian Paints ( opens new tab clocked revenues of 294 billion Indian rupees ($3.43 billion) in 2024-25, and has 26 factories globally. In 2022, the CCI closed a case filed by JSW Paints against Asian Paints for abusing its market position, saying it found no contravention of competition laws.
