Marks & Spencer Cyber Snafu: Online Shopping Paused Amid Digital Drama

Marks & Spencer has hit pause on online orders due to a “cyber incident,” leaving customers unable to redeem gift cards or use Click & Collect. While M&S battles digital gremlins, shoppers should stay vigilant against phishing scams. This is not just any cyber incident; it’s an M&S cyber incident!

Hot Take:

Looks like Marks & Spencer’s online shopping is taking a break, and not the kind you enjoy with a cocktail on a beach. It’s more like the kind where you realize your computer has decided to upgrade itself at the worst possible moment. So, if you’re itching to shop, it’s back to the good old days of physically walking into a store—don’t forget your compass!

Key Points:

  • M&S has paused online orders due to a cyber incident.
  • Contactless payments and Click & Collect were halted earlier.
  • Customers can still browse products online but can’t make purchases.
  • There are ongoing issues with gift cards, receipts, and return kiosks.
  • Customers are advised to be cautious of phishing attempts.
