Following the attack, M&S faced serious operational challenges, with its online store down for seven weeks, affecting deliveries including to Northern Ireland. M&S has not confirmed whether it paid a ransom and chairman Archie Norman has raised questions about how businesses should address ransom demands while maintaining silence on the specifics of their situation.
