In April 2025, UK retailers M&S, Co-op, and Harrods suffered major cyberattacks that exposed gaps in supply chain security, credential protection, and threat response. M&S was hit with a ransomware attack by Scattered Spider, disrupting its operations and leaking customer data. Co-op saw personal information stolen by the DragonForce group. Meanwhile, Harrods found suspicious activity linked to attempted unauthorised access, triggering an emergency investigation and defensive measures.
