British retail chain Co-Op has announced the full restoration of its operational systems following a recent cybersecurity incident that temporarily disrupted its digital infrastructure. The company confirmed that by this weekend, customers can expect a return to normal availability of goods both in-store and online, with all payment methods functioning as usual. This development signals a swift and controlled recovery after a wave of cyberattacks targeting UK retailers in recent months.
Marks & Spencer $MKS.L, one of the United Kingdom’s most iconic retail brands, faced significant operational disruption this week following a cyberattack that forced the retailer to suspend its online order processing. The incident highlights the growing vulnerability of major companies to digital threats and has already impacted M&S’s market performance.
