The cyber attacks, which took place earlier this year, are reported to have cost Marks & Spencer an estimated £300 million, after the retailer was forced to suspend its online operations.

The National Crime Agency arrested four individuals suspected of involvement in recent cyberattacks on UK retail businesses, targeting M&S, Co-op, and Harrods. These suspects, aged between 17 and 20, face charges under the Computer Misuse Act and other related offences such as blackmail and money laundering. Their identities remain undisclosed due to the ongoing investigation, legal rights for fair trial, and safeguarding concerns. Electronic devices have been seized for forensic analysis, and the suspects are in custody for further questioning.
