Marks & Spencer’s CEO Stuart Machin told customers today that the retailer is bouncing back fast from April’s cyberattack. According to Reuters, here’s what shoppers need to know:
Key Recovery Updates:
✔ Half of M&S online store (currently down) will reopen fully in 4 weeks
✔ All systems should be normal by August
✔ CEO’s promise: “Customers will see the full M&S again soon”
Why This Matters to You:
- The April cyberattack disrupted M&S online shopping and services
- Hackers didn’t steal customer payment data (Reuters confirms)
- Physical stores kept running normally throughout
Reuters reports the CEO told shareholders: “I’m really hoping by August, the majority of this is behind us.” Tech teams are working around the clock to rebuild affected systems.
The Big Picture:
While cyberattacks are becoming common, M&S’s fast recovery shows how major retailers are getting better at handling digital crises. Experts say full restoration by August would be an impressive turnaround.
