M&S aims for full online restoration within four weeks following major cyber attack
Briefly

M&S is working to restore its online operations fully within the next four weeks after a significant cyber attack in April.

While the main e-commerce site has partially resumed, essential functions like click-and-collect and next-day delivery remain unavailable.
