UK police arrest four over cyberattacks on M&S, Co-op and Harrods
Four people under 21 have been arrested as part of a police investigation into cyberattacks that disrupted the operations of UK retailers Marks & Spencer, the Co-op and Harrods, Britain’s National Crime Agency said on Thursday.
April’s ransomware attack on M&S, one of the best known names in British business, was the most serious, forcing it to suspend online clothing shopping for nearly seven weeks and costing it about 300 million pounds ($400 million) in operating profit.
