M&S’s Cyber Woes: DragonForce Ransomware Unleashes Chaos
The renowned retailer Marks & Spencer recently fell victim to a cyber attack by the notorious DragonForce group. Known for their “double extortion” tactics, DragonForce locked M&S out of their own systems. As M&S scrambles to restore operations, customers are left wondering if more dragons are lurking in their wardrobes.
Hot Take:
M&S’s website has about as much security as a chocolate teapot, thanks to the notorious DragonForce cyber gang. Let’s just say their “quality” label didn’t quite extend to their IT security systems. Maybe it’s time for them to add a new department: Cybersecurity & Spencer?
Key Points:
- The retailer Marks & Spencer was hit by a sophisticated ransomware attack, likely by the DragonForce group.
- DragonForce employs “double extortion” tactics, involving data theft and encryption.
- M&S has yet to make an official statement about the attack, leaving customers in the dark.
- Law enforcement advises against paying the ransom as it funds criminal activities without guaranteeing data recovery.
- The attack highlights the growing threat of cybercrime and the need for stronger cybersecurity measures.
