US EditionSome M&S stores left with empty shelves after cyber attack
- Co-Op and Marks & Spencer both faced cyber attacks in late April 2025 that disrupted their IT systems across the UK.
- The attacks involved ransomware and unauthorized access attempts, leading Co-op to shut parts of its IT system and M&S to pause online orders from April 25.
- Co-Op emphasized that its entire network, including thousands of food retail outlets and several hundred funeral homes, remains operational, while M&S is experiencing stock shortages, has suspended click and collect services, and faces issues with contactless payments following a cyber attack.
- M&S’s market value dropped by over £700 million, shares fell 2.2%, and security experts linked the attack to the Scattered Spider hacking group.
- Authorities continue investigations for both attacks, which may cause ongoing disruptions and require cautious recovery efforts for the affected retailers.
