M&S finally relaunch online clothes shop after data leak – here's how to buy the best bits & it's NOT via their website
TOP MARKS M&S finally relaunch online clothes shop after data leak – here's how to buy the best bits & it's NOT via their website Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IT'S the moment millions of fashionistas have been patiently waiting for - the return of Marks & Spencer. The popular retailer has been dealing with chaos that began in April when cyber crooks launched a "highly sophisticated" attack that's still causing carnage behind the scenes, hitting everything from online orders to in-store stock. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 The mega retailer has finally relaunched online clothes shop after data leak Credit: EBay 3 But thrifty fashionistas won't find the bargains on M&S website Credit: EBay 3 The cyber attack forced M&S to halt online orders and triggered widespread disruption Credit: EBay The cyber attack, which kicked off over Easter weekend, has been one of the worst to hit the high street in years. It has forced M&S to halt online orders and triggered widespread disruption, including a £300million blow to profits. Customer info was also nicked during the breach, with security experts now blaming 'Scattered Spider'— a notorious cyber gang thought to be behind the chaos. Online shopping is still out of action and is expected to remain patchy until at least July, with fashion, home and beauty sales taking a battering. Last weekend, bosses said it could still take around "five or six weeks" until shoppers can carry out online clothing orders. Some stores have even been stripped of staples like bananas and Colin the Caterpillar cakes, and popular meal deals were pulled in smaller branches. But as M&S bosses still deal with the situation, the mega retailer has found a way to treat fashionistas - and it's not on their website. Those on the lookout for a new summer wardrobe will be delighted to hear that M&S has partnered with the online marketplace eBay. Similarly to M&S official website, their eBay page boasts just about anything you'd need - whether it's last-minute swimwear for a beach holiday or new office clothing. When clicking on the type of item you're after, such as a skirt or jeans, it will automatically come up with different size options. Fashion fans are racing to Primark for 'gorgeous' new £16 skirt that's 'perfect' for holidays and will hide your mum tum Once finding your right one, the site will narrow it down and showcase the gorgeous picks you can order online. Online shoppers can also expect to pay £1.95 for delivery - which can take several days. The new partnership also shows you how many other bargain hunters are looking at the item now - which comes in handy in case you don't want to miss out on the deals. Timeline of cyber attack Saturday, April 19: Initial reports emerge on social media of problems with contactless payments and click-and-collect services at M&S stores across the UK. Customers experience difficulties collecting online purchases and returning items due to system issues.

A CYBER attack is any deliberate attempt to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorised access to computer systems, networks, or digital devices. These attacks can target individuals, businesses, or even governments, and their motives can range from financial gain to political disruption. Cyber attacks can take many forms, employing various techniques to achieve their malicious goals. Common types of cyber attacks include: Malware: Malicious software designed to damage or gain control of a system. Examples include viruses, worms, ransomware, and spyware.

Co-op was forced to shut down part of its IT system after facing a hacking attempt in April. It confirmed that it had "taken proactive steps to keep our systems safe". It was later revealed that the personal data of a "significant number" of its 6.2million customers and former members had been stolen. The details included names, contact information, and dates of birth. However, the retailer assured customers that passwords, credit card details, and transaction information were not compromised. Full services resumed on May 14, following the reactivation of its online ordering system. Luxury retailer, Harrods, was also another victim of last month's hacking saga. They had warned shoppers about "restricted internet access" due to the attempted breach, which caused difficulties for some customers trying to make payments.

Hotel security officer testifies Diddy paid $100K to suppress assault video
This is a free article for Diddy on Trial newsletter subscribers. Sign up to get exclusive reporting and analysis throughout Sean Combs' federal trial. Much of today's testimony was spent revisiting Diddy's March 2016 assault on Casandra Ventura, an incident at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles that was captured on security video and shown to jurors at the start of his trial. Eddy Garcia, the hotel's security supervisor, testified that Diddy and his team desperately wanted to get the sole copy of the video and prevent it from getting out. In exchange for $100,000 divided among members of the hotel's security team, Garcia said, he signed a nondisclosure agreement that called for his silence and the destruction of evidence. Here's what else to know about today's testimony: Garcia testified that he was so 'nervous' about the NDA that he didn't read it all before he signed it. Diddy presented stacks of cash in a brown paper bag, added Garcia, who said he bought a used car with his $30,000 share. Garcia also said he wasn't initially truthful to police when he was asked about the assault. On cross-examination, the defense pointed out the NDA didn't stop Garcia from speaking about it in legal proceedings, a line of questioning presumably intended to undermine the government's potential claim of obstruction of justice. After Garcia, Derek Ferguson, the former chief financial officer of Bad Boy Entertainment, took the stand to discuss the structure of Diddy's businesses and how money flowed. 🔎 The view from inside By Adam Reiss and Jing Feng For the first time during the trial, a spectator disrupted the courtroom decorum, prompting U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian to order court marshals to 'escort her out right now.' The uproar began before the jury was seated and Garcia took the stand. At first, both prosecutors and the defense team were discussing with Subramanian exhibits in the trial and whether to offer evidence of Diddy's jail calls. Prosecutors also complained to Subramanian that a person who had been in the courtroom Monday broadcast on YouTube the real identity of a government witness, who went by the pseudonym 'Mia' when she testified. Suddenly, a woman in the courtroom began shouting in defense of Diddy, including that 'it's not right what they're doing to him' and 'Diddy's innocent.' She was quickly removed. Prosecutors later told Subramanian that the true name and identity of 'Mia' were being reported and asked for him to ban the outlet that made them public from the court. He said he would consider such a court order. Tomorrow: Frank Piazza, a forensic video expert, and Bryana Bangolan, who alleges that Diddy dangled her over an apartment balcony, may testify. PSA: Every night during Diddy's trial, NBC's 'Dateline' will drop special episodes of the 'True Crime Weekly' podcast to get you up to speed. 'Dateline' correspondent Andrea Canning chats with NBC News' Chloe Melas and special guests — right in front of the courthouse. Listen here. 🎧

Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office asking for help in locating missing Lake Charles, Louisiana, woman
July is supposed to be an exciting time for the Watley family, filled with birthdays and family celebrations. And everyone could count on one thing: Tameika Watley would never miss a family birthday. But last year, after the family didn't hear from Tameika on any of those summer birthdays, her younger sister Miranda Watley began to feel something was very wrong. 'She never missed holidays. She never missed birthdays,' Miranda told Dateline. Miranda's concern grew when she learned their mother hadn't heard from Tameika since June 5, 2024. 'So I'm like, 'Mama, something's not right,'' she said. At the time, Tameika was staying at her mother's house, but Miranda says it wasn't unusual for her to be gone for periods of time. Miranda called everyone she thought could have seen or talked to Tameika, looked in places she was known to frequent, and even went door-to-door asking people if they had seen her. But there was no sign of her. ' It's just like some type of feeling came over my body,' Miranda said. Miranda eventually decided it was time to bring in law enforcement. She went to the sheriff's office and reported Tameika missing on July 23, 2024. The Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office issued a press release on its Facebook page on August 6, 2024, which states they are 'looking for a 37 year old Lake Charles woman, Tameika S. Watley, who was reported missing to CPSO on July 23. During the initial investigation family members advised detectives the last time they spoke with Watley was on June 5, by phone.' The release noted that Tameika does not have a permanent address or a working cell phone and is 'known to frequent several areas in Lake Charles including See Street, Railroad Avenue, 12th Street and North Booker Street.' They asked for the public's help in locating Tameika. According to Miranda, after Tameika was reported missing, a friend told the family she had seen and spoken to her after June 5, which is when the family last heard from her. On June 25 the friend spotted Tameika on 12th Street and 9th Avenue in Lake Charles. The two spoke through the friend's car window. The friend didn't remember what Tameika was wearing, but she told the family she had a bag on her shoulder that looked like a beach bag. Dateline reached out to the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office for an update on the investigation into Tameika's disappearance. Public Information Officer Kayla Vincent responded via email. 'Since the report was filed, detectives have conducted numerous interviews, initiated multiple searches, and used a variety of investigative methods and techniques to try and locate Watley. We have also coordinated with other law enforcement agencies regarding unidentified individuals to rule out any possible connections,' she wrote. 'At this time, we have found no evidence to indicate that foul play is involved, but we continue to follow up on any and all possible leads,' Vincent told Dateline. Miranda says that while she tries to maintain hope, she cannot escape the many rumors that she says swirl around the town about what happened to her sister. ' The rumors [are] bad,' she said. 'All I hear — I just hear that she's deceased. That's all I hear.' This has also been especially difficult for Tameika's six children, who are being raised by her two sisters. 'It affects them bad to know that their mom is missing,' Miranda said. ' It's been almost a year, come next month,' Miranda said, which means summer is around the corner, the time of year the Watleys used to fill with joy and family birthday celebrations. Until they bring Tameika home, it will be tinged with sorrow and heartache. Tameika is 5'4' and weighs 140-170 lbs. She has black hair and brown eyes. She has a tattoo on her chest that reads 'Derrick', one on her wrist that reads 'Anita', one on her left leg that reads 'Tayvia', one on her right leg that reads 'Ja'Quaylon', and two others on her upper back. If anyone sees Tameika or has any information on her whereabouts, please contact the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office at 337-491-3605 or submit an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers at 337-439-2222.
