Who are Scattered Spider? How the notorious hackers linked to M&S cyber attack work

Marks & Spencer faced a serious ransomware cyber attack over the Easter weekend, forcing it to suspend online orders across the UK.
This attack followed similar breaches at Co-op and Harrods, reflecting increasing threats exploiting vulnerabilities in complex retail supply chains.
M&S paused online services including Click & Collect, disrupted payment and loyalty systems, but kept physical stores open amid ongoing investigations.
M&S chief executive Stuart Machin said the company is "working day and night" and apologized, noting almost 2,000 customers praised staff responses on social media.
The cyber attack significantly impacted M&S’s operations and market value, while experts warned paying ransoms could encourage more cybercriminal attacks.
