Marks & Spencer has reported a significant recovery from a devastating cyber-attack that shut down its website last year. The retailer's profits have bounced back to £355m in the six months to 26 September, a substantial increase from the £3.4m reported a year prior. The cyber-attack, which began over Easter 2025, forced the company to shut its website for over six weeks, impacting clothing sales. Despite this, the brand's overall health remains strong, with the company stating that sales and profit from clothing and homeware are still below pre-hack levels. The incident highlights the ongoing challenges faced by retailers in the wake of cyber-attacks. M&S has not disclosed the full extent of the financial impact of the hack, but the recovery of profits suggests that the company is making progress in recovering from the disruption. The company's resilience in the face of adversity is a testament to its ability to adapt and recover from unexpected setbacks.
