‘Clearly unrelated’: TCS denies cyberattack link as Marks & Spencer ends IT desk contract

British multinational retailer Marks & Spencer (M&S) has ended its contract with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) to run the company’s IT service desk. The move comes months after the Indian IT service provider was investigated following a cyberattack on the UK retailer.

The company, however, continues to use TCS for other technology and IT services. Meanwhile, TCS has also dismissed the cyberattack as the reason for the service termination, saying both matters are “unrelated,” according to the Financial Times.
