Some M&S stores left with empty shelves after cyber attack
- Marks & Spencer and Co-op experienced cyber attacks in April 2025 affecting parts of their IT systems across the UK.
- Both attacks stemmed from unauthorized access attempts, with Co-op proactively shutting down IT parts and M&S halting online orders from April 21 and April 25 respectively.
- M&S faced disrupted online, click and collect orders, contactless payments issues, and limited stock availability, while Co-op’s back office and call centres saw minor impacts though stores stayed open.
- The M&S attack involved ransomware linked to the Scattered Spider group, said to be one of the most active hacker networks, and the Metropolitan Police are investigating both incidents.
- These cyber incidents have caused substantial operational disruptions and financial losses, with M&S’s market value dropping over £700 million as both retailers continue recovery and updates.
