[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

The 4 who
Hacked M&S and the Co Op Arrested

Based in the UK All young
One in Latvia


[The National Crime Agency (NCA) says a
20-year-old woman was arrested in Staffordshire,
and three males - aged between 17 and 19 - were
detained in London and the West Midlands.

They were apprehended on suspicion
of Computer Misuse Act offences, blackmail,
money laundering and participating
in the activities of an organised crime group.
All four were arrested at their homes in the
early hours of Thursday.
Electronic devices were also seized by the police.

One of the suspects - a 19-year-old man
is from
Latvia, the rest are from the UK.

Neighbours described a large police operation
in the quiet Staffordshire cul-de-sac
where the 20-year-old was arrested.

They said dozens of NCA officers,
some wearing balaclavas,
arrived in the early hours of this
morning and smashed down the
door of a family home.
Later they were seen taking away a
large number of electronic devices.]

I can agree that the Cops have balaclavas
on this arrest, as these Criminal Hacker Punks
wire up video cameras around their homes.
