Default M&S has lost over £450million, since they have been hacked

They can not hire new staff
Some M&S food store's now have empty shelves.

This is due to Criminal Hackers asking for Millions of their money

Also the Co-Op and Harrods have had Criminal Hackers


https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy5rz9p2d5ko


[The cyber attack has already had
a significant impact on the retailer,
as online transactions account
for about a third of its clothing and home sales.
On average, £3.8m is spent on clothing
and home products on its website
and apps every day.

There have also been gaps on the food shelves
in some stores after the firm took some
of its systems offline in an attempt to
manage the attack,
while its loyalty scheme and
gift card payments have
been disrupted too.

Analysts have pointed out that
M&S risks losing out to rivals,

as online shoppers can quickly switch
to other retailers' websites.

The problems have also coincided
with a period of warmer weather,
when people are likely to want to buy
new summer clothes.

M&S shares dropped almost 2%
on Friday morning, and are now down
about 5% from the point when
the company first disclosed its
IT systems had been disrupted.]

You’d think we would have the best anti hack people and systems in the world given the majority of people seem to work in the services industry
