Hot Take:

Looks like someone’s service desk didn’t get the memo! Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Marks & Spencer (M&S) are the latest duo to tango in the blame game. TCS is waving its “not our fault” flag high, while M&S is busy playing musical chairs with its service providers. Meanwhile, the cyber attackers are sitting back with popcorn, enjoying the show.

Key Points:

  • M&S reportedly switched its service desk provider from TCS prior to a cyber-attack.
  • TCS claims the decision was unrelated to the April cyber incident.
  • The cyber-attack was not linked to TCS’s systems, according to their investigation.
  • TCS has ongoing collaborations with M&S in areas other than service desk services.
  • TCS does not provide cybersecurity services to M&S.
