Marks & Spencer: Cyberattack Could Cost Up to £300 Million

Marks & Spencer (M&S) expects the cost of a cyberattack it sustained to reach £300 million. The incident has caused temporary disruptions to customer data and supply chain systems. The company is conducting incident response, forensic analysis, and customer notification procedures; on the supply side, vendor risk management and hardening of third-party access controls are being prioritized. In the near term, store replenishment and online fulfillment workflows face the risk of slowdowns. Over the medium term, investment plans are strengthening security layers including zero-trust architecture, MFA, EDR/XDR, and backup immutability. The incident underscores the importance of cyber resilience and business continuity planning in the retail sector.
