Some M&S stores left with empty shelves after cyber attack
- Marks & Spencer and Co-op experienced separate cyber attacks in April 2025 affecting their IT systems in the UK.
- The Co-op attack involved unauthorized access attempts leading to partial IT system shutdown, while M&S revealed a ransomware incident on April 21.
- Both retailers face service disruptions: Co-op’s back office and call centers are impacted, while M&S struggles with online orders, contactless payments, and limited product availability.
- M&S confirmed over £700 million lost in market value and Share expert Graeme Stewart linked the attack to Scattered Spider, a known hacking group with young members.
- Investigations by the Metropolitan Police continue, and both companies advise customers no immediate action is needed while they work to restore full services.
