Four people arrested after cyber attacks on M&S, Co-op and Harrods
The National Crime Agency (NCA) said the individuals were arrested early on Thursday morning on suspicion of blackmail, money laundering, offences linked to the Computer Misuse Act and participating in the activities of an organised crime group. The arrests included a 17-year-old British man from the West Midlands, a 19-year-old Latvian man from the West Midlands, a 19-year-old British man from London and a 20-year-old British woman from Staffordshire. All four were arrested from their home addresses and remain in custody. The police also seized electronic devices from the properties. It comes after investigations by NCA into attacks against the three retailers, where hackers sought ransom payments after breaking into their IT systems. M&S was the first of the retailers to be targeted by the hackers, with the retailer shutting a raft of systems down in response on Easter Sunday. The company said the cyber attack has cost the firm around £300 million after it shut down its website for six weeks. Meanwhile, Co-op saw payments disrupted and shelves become bare from May because of the fallout of its cyber attack. Hackers also stole Co-op members' personal data, such as names and contact details. Harrods restricted internet access across its websites in May following attempts to gain unauthorised access to its systems. The arrests mark a breakthrough in police efforts to investigate the attacks, which had been linked to the Scattered Spider group of hackers. Paul Foster, head of the NCA's National Cyber Crime Unit, said: 'Since these attacks took place, specialist NCA cybercrime investigators have been working at pace and the investigation remains one of the agency's highest priorities. 'Today's arrests are a significant step in that investigation but our work continues, alongside partners in the UK and overseas, to ensure those responsible are identified and brought to justice. 'Hopefully this signals to future victims the importance of seeking support and engaging with law enforcement as part of the reporting process.' It came days after M&S chairman Archie Norman told MPs that two other 'large British companies' have been impacted by unreported cyber attacks in recent months, as he detailed the 'traumatic' attack on the historic retailer. An M&S spokeswoman said: 'We welcome this development and thank the NCA for its diligent work on this incident.' A Co-op spokeswoman said: 'Hacking is not a victimless crime. 'Throughout this period, we have engaged fully with the NCA, and relevant authorities and are pleased on behalf of our members to see this had led to these arrests today.'

UK police arrest four over cyberattacks on M&S, Co-op and Harrods
LONDON, July 10 (Reuters) - Four people under 21 have been arrested as part of a police investigation into cyberattacks that disrupted the operations of UK retailers Marks & Spencer (MKS.L), opens new tab, the Co-op (42TE.L), opens new tab 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. The NCA said males aged 19, 19 and 17 and a 20-year-old woman had been detained in the English West Midlands and London on suspicion of Computer Misuse Act offences, blackmail, money laundering and participating in organised crime. All were arrested at home, had their electronic devices seized, and were being questioned by the NCA's National Cyber Crime Unit. On Tuesday, M&S Chairman Archie Norman told lawmakers the retailer had been in contact with the U.S. FBI over the cyberattack. He said "loosely aligned parties" had worked together under the suspected leadership of a group known as DragonForce. Norman said British businesses should be legally required to report material cyberattacks, alleging that two recent major attacks on large UK firms had gone unreported. M&S resumed taking online orders for clothing lines on June 10 after a 46-day suspension but is yet to restore click-and-collect services. Last week, CEO Stuart Machin told investors the group would be over the worst of the fallout by August.
