M&S to take weeks to recover fully from devastating cyber attack
Marks & Spencer is expected to fully resume online shopping within four weeks as it continues to recover from the massive cyber attack. Half of the systems including Click and Collect are still down despite online orders being restarted in June, the retailer's boss said. Stuart Machin told the retailer's annual general meeting that after the brand goes 'fully on' the focus will then be on getting its Castle Donington distribution centre in the East Midlands 'back and running'. He said that 'we will have the vast majority of this behind us' by August. Hackers disrupted contactless payments and Click and Collect during the cyber attack in April. The retailer then confirmed that customer data had been stolen, although it said no passwords or card details were accessed. The attack will wipe around £300 million from this year's profits, the chain has estimated, with the losses only being partly covered by insurance. Online orders have resumed in England, Scotland and Wales, but customers in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are still waiting for the service. Mr Machin said: 'Currently, half of online is open but not areas like Click and Collect. Within the next four weeks we are hoping for the whole of online to be fully on. 'Then our focus will be getting the Donington site back and running.' The high street giant has previously said that the disruption to services will continue into June and July. Last week, it sent out e-gift cards to customers who had online orders cancelled or had click and collect orders delayed. A message on the M&S website today reads: 'We will resume Click & Collect, Next Day Delivery and UK Nominated Day Delivery for fashion and international ordering in the coming weeks.' More Trending The retailer is just one of many household names that have been hacked recently including Co-op, Harrods and Dior. In April, Co-op had to shut down its IT systems to stop hackers from snatching personal and financial information like shopper passwords or bank details. As with the M&S cyber attack, Co-op shoppers were left contending with empty shelves and deliveries being paused. Do you have a story you would like to share?

Worst of cyber attack impact to be over by August, says M&S boss
Stuart Machin, chief executive of the high street giant, said he hopes its online operations will be running 'fully' within four weeks as it continues to recover. In April, M&S was forced to halt online orders after it was targeted by hackers. Customer personal data – which could have included names, email addresses, postal addresses and dates of birth – was taken during the attack. The M&S 2025 AGM has just kicked off. Our Chairman @therealarchie, Chief Executive @MachinStuart1 and CFO Alison Dolan are joined by broadcaster and author Anita Anand @tweeter_anita who is acting as shareholder advocate in the meeting and raising shareholder questions with the… — M&S News (@MandSnews) July 1, 2025 M&S revealed that the hack was caused by 'human error' and would cost it around £300 million. Last month, it restarted online sales through its website to allow shoppers to buy a selection of its best-selling fashion ranges and new products for home delivery to England, Scotland and Wales. Bosses told the firm's annual general meeting in London on Tuesday that click and collect and next-day delivery operations have not yet returned, but should be back within weeks. Mr Machin said: 'Currently, half of online is open but not areas like click and collect. Within the next four weeks we are hoping for the whole of online to be fully on. 'Then our focus will be getting the Donington site back and running. 'We're hoping that by August we will have the vast majority of this behind us and people can see the full M&S.' Chairman Archie Norman highlighted that the company has been progressing through its recovery programme to return operations to normal. 'Every week new systems are coming back,' he said. 'Hopefully in a few weeks we'll be humming – we're hopeful we'll be back to full operations very shortly.' Mr Norman also highlighted that executive pay deals could be impacted by any drop in financial performance caused by the cyber attack this financial year. He added: 'The financial effect of this will be taken into account with regards to incentive pay, but it's too early to say. 'We are planning to come back stronger and want to go gangbusters for the rest of the year, but whatever the impact on shareholders, that comes through in remuneration as well.' At the meeting, shareholders voted in favour of the group's pay deal for the year to March, which saw Mr Machin's overall pay packet jump by 39% to £7.1 million, driven by performance-linked bonuses. Meanwhile, a majority voted against a resolution put forward by Share Action which called on M&S to disclose information on the number of employees earning below the real living wage.
