Marks & Spencer was forced to halt internet orders following a damaging cyber attack.
Businesses should be legally required to report material cyber attacks to the authorities, the chairman of retailer Marks & Spencer said yesterday, claiming two recent major attacks on large UK firms had gone unreported.
Giving evidence to MPs on parliament’s business and trade committee on the April cyber attack which forced M&S to suspend online shopping for nearly seven weeks, Archie Norman said the group had learnt that “quite a large number” of serious cyber attacks never get reported to the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).
