M&S website down following disruptions after cyber attack

Marks & Spencer is located on the web, leaving users unable to browse, as the retail seller continues to deal with an electronic attack last month.
Customers were unable to submit online requests for weeks, but on Wednesday evening, users were reading the screen: “Sorry, you can’t browse the site currently. We are doing some updates and we will come back soon.”
M & S was contacted to comment.
Earlier in the day, The retail seller said that the electronic attack will reach this year by about 300 million pounds. He added that its online services will continue to disrupt it until July, with a gradual return to normal.
After the cybersecurity, M&S said that some of the customer’s personal data had been stolen in the recent cyber attack, which could include phone numbers, home addresses and birth dates.
The High Street Giant giant emphasized that the theft of data did not include the details of the usable payment or card, or any account passwords, but they added that the date of the online requests can be included in the stolen personal data.
The attack took place during the weekend of Easter, initially affecting clicking and calling payments. After a few days, the M & S put a banner on its website apologizing that the online demand was not available.
The M&S estimates that the cybersecurity will reach this year at about 300 million pounds – more than what analysts expected and the equivalent of a third of his profit – an amount that can not be partially covered only by any insurance payment.
“During the past few weeks, we have been running a very advanced and targeted electronic attack, which led to a limited period of turmoil,” said Stewart Machin, CEO of M&S.
Police focuses on a notorious group of English -speaking infiltrators, known as the scattered spider, learned BBC.
It is believed that the same group was behind the attacks on the cooperative and the Hharuds, but it was the M&S that suffered from the greatest impact.
