M&S resumes click and collect 15 weeks after a cyberattack that forced the chain to suspend clothing orders on its website and app on April 25; the reopening of the service marks a first step toward normalization after an incident that affected sales and logistics systems.
The attack disrupted the ability to take online orders for garments and accessories, and during the following 15 weeks M&S worked with external specialists and internal teams to verify data integrity, restore processes, and strengthen controls. The return of the click and collect service comes accompanied by additional checks and notices to customers about possible delays while platform stability is monitored.
This episode underscores how critical it is for retail to have robust cybersecurity measures and resilient cloud architectures that enable rapid recovery. Many companies take the opportunity to review backups, network segmentation, multi-factor authentication, and forensic audits to prevent new intrusions and reduce operational impact.
