The cyber attack forced the chain cooperative to take measures that led to gaps on the shelves. But those with the well -known say that the company is about to resort to shopping issues
The cooperative hopes to address the gaps on the shelves caused by the fall from the cybersecurity within days-while a crisis in the Marx & Spencer competition is adopted. Shopping in the store chain, CO-OP reported a shortage of some products after members owned by criminals were targeted, which led to what the company described as a great turmoil.
Opinioners say it came as a result of temporarily proactive systems, to prevent the spread of the attack to other information technology systems. Like M & S, Co-OP said that criminals had launched a “very sophisticated” penetration, without going into the details. It has revealed that Internet criminals were able to reach a “limited amount of member data”.
The pluscinemaz.comunderstands that other issues of arrangement and display issues have been greatly resolved. This is despite the ongoing evidence of empty sections on the shelves and in refrigerators in cooperative stores. A store in southwest London still has gaps in the sweets corridor, in fresh products, ready -made meals, and yogurt.
However, the cooperative indication that it reaches normal in a blatant contract in the M & S, where all online clothing sales are still hanging. Richard Heyman, an independent retail analyst, said that the constant temporary suspension will cost the M&S a “very important” amount of money.

The M&S refuses to set the amount he lost in sales, however, the annual report of the last company showed that nearly 1.3 billion pounds of sales, equivalent to more than 24 million pounds per week. Given the suspension of requests for more than two weeks, it indicates that the M&S has already accepted goodbye to more than 50 million pounds of sales, although the annual number includes nails at Christmas and other most preoccupied times in the year. The timing comes just as other retailers enjoyed the prosperous demand for spring ranges thanks to good weather.
M&S admitted that a gang of online infiltrators had stolen a possible treasure from the customer's details. The names of shoppers, email addresses, birth dates, phone numbers and what they bought online are among the personal information that fell in the hands of the fraudsters.
The M&S insisted on the “useful” payment or the card details that were not stolen, and there was no evidence at this stage that the infiltrators had used any of the information. However, shoppers have urged the M&S account, just in case. However, to add to chaos, the company was unable to determine the number of its active customers online who are 9.4 million.
She left M&S to reel what was called the “advanced” cyber attack, which first appeared about three weeks ago. While the stores were initially influenced, the largest impact on the M&S arm online, which has been paralyzed since April 25, was with no orders for clothes and household items.
Despite the call to a team of security experts and the police, there is no sign of M&S at the top of the accident.
It is believed that the IT systems with M & S with Ransomware, a type of malware that prevents the company from accessing its own data unless it coughs money. Reports linked the accident to a gang called a scattered spider, which includes members of the age of 16 years.
In a new update, M&S said: “We write to customers to inform them that due to the advanced nature of the accident, some of their personal customers' data has been taken. There is no evidence that these data have been shared.” He continued: “We have said to customers that there is no need to take any action. Share information about how to stay safe online.
M & S was first reported about the problem during the weekend in the Easter, as the accident initially caused problems in payments that do not touch the retail seller and click on the requests and collect them, while also affected some of the availability of stores after some of its systems took off online connection.
On May 2, the Information Commissioner Office said it was also looking into the attack, as well as a similar major incident related to cooperation. However, online reports say the M&S servers were raised for the first time in February. However, those who were behind and then published a piracy very known as Dragonforce on April 24.
Also, the contrast in the extent of cooperative and M&S at the top of the case raises concerns. The sources say that the security personnel who had cooperation almost immediately monitored the breach and raised the alarm, which prevented the attack from widening. On the other hand, the M&S faces dangerous questions that you have not yet answered when the attack occurred, when it became aware, and why is it still in the grip of the crisis.
