The UKâs National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has alerted British retailers to enhance their cybersecurity measures after a series of cyber attacks against major outlets like Marks and Spencer, Co-op, and Harrods. The attacks began during the Easter period and have disrupted online services and operations. The NCSC is providing incident response support to these retailers while confirming involvement from the Information Commissioner's Office. NCSC CEO Richard Horne emphasized the need for organizations to take preventive measures and prepare for potential future threats, urging leadership to follow official protection guidelines.
The disruption caused by the recent incidents impacting the retail sector are naturally a cause for concern to those businesses affected, their customers, and the public.
These incidents should act as a wake-up call to all organisations. I urge leaders to follow the advice on the NCSC website to ensure they have appropriate measures in place to help prevent attacks and respond and recover effectively.
