- M&S has finally restored its click and collection service
- The cyber incident was revealed in April 2025
- Online orders for delivery were restored in June
Marks and Spencer (M&S) have finally restarted the click and collect orders for clothing, home products and beauty after a suspension of almost four months after an apparent important cyberattack.
Although the company had resumed online orders for delivery on June 10 after revealing the details of a cyber incident on April 22 (and stopped deliveries and collections of April 25), it took another 15 weeks to change its click and collect services.
Previously, the cyber incident was expected to cost the company around £ 300 million in lost operational profits for this fiscal year, but M&S hopes to reduce the impact through insurance and cost controls.

However, although the restoration of click and collect signals “return to normal” for customers, analysts do not expect a sudden resurgence as M&S continues to fight with reputation damage.
Although the British retail giant received great success, the industry did not, and rivals as Sainsburys and then could obtain some of the lost businesses.
The M&S CEO, Stuart Machin, had previously declared that the effects of the incident could continue in June and July, pointing out a restoration in August, and the company has been able to comply with that.
Detailing his learning in Parliament, M&S has urged the strongest cyber dissemination standards. The lawyer also pointed out that companies should operate manually during interruptions.
The National Crime Agency of the United Kingdom arrested four people in an investigation linked to attacks against M&S, Cooper and Harrods, however, the true cause of the incident remains uncertain.
The attacks against Marks and Spencer (M&S) and the cooperative supermarket were combined in a single incident by the same attacker by the Cybernetic Monitoring Center (CMC), a non -profit independent organism established to classify the main cybernetic events by the insurance industry.
It had been reported that the group known as Sptered Spider was behind the terrible experience, but TCS, which has been attending M&S for more than a decade, is also investigating whether the trampoline was the attack.
