Multiple UK retailers—Harrods, Marks & Spencer, and the Co-op—were targeted in late April–early May 2025: Harrods experienced attempted system access prompting precautionary network restrictions, M&S suffered a ransomware incident (DragonForce) linked to the Scattered Spider group that paused online orders and caused stock issues, and the Co-op confirmed data extraction exposing member names and contact details; the NCSC is coordinating investigations and urging enhanced cyber resilience across the sector.
