Police investigation into UK retail hacks focuses on English-speaking youths
Briefly

The National Crime Agency (NCA) is investigating a series of disruptive cyber attacks on UK retailers attributed to a group known as Scattered Spider. These attacks have impacted businesses like M&S and Co-op, leading to empty shelves and compromised private data for millions. The NCA emphasizes that finding these offenders is a top priority. Although the community, consisting mainly of young English-speakers, is suspected to be operating from the UK, its members communicate through various platforms, making precise identification challenging. The NCA aims to connect evidence to these cybercriminals.
We are looking at the group that is publicly known as Scattered Spider, but we've got a range of different hypotheses and we'll follow the evidence to get to the offenders.
In light of all the damage that we're seeing, catching whoever is behind these attacks is our top priority.
