[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.]
