London – British retailer brands AND Spencer said Friday that it is “working day and night” to solve a cyber attack almost two weeks ago that he has left it unable to process any online order, one day after Harrods confirmed that luxury Harrods in London confirmed that he had become the last goal.
Since the cooperative has also closed some of its information technology systems such as caution after a trick, there are growing concerns within the retail sector that computer pirates are taking risks calculated when trying to replicate the actions of others to cause so much possible interruption.
According to reports, it is said that a piracy group known as scattered spider is behind the MANDS attack, although this has not been confirmed. It is not clear if the three attacks are linked.
Until now, mANDS has been the highest profile victim of the recent series of attacks, and its executive director Stuart Machin told customers that “interruption” regrets a lot. “
“We are working day and night to administer the current cyber incident and make things return to normal as quickly as possible,” he said.
METROANDS first reported the problem during the Easter weekend two weeks ago and has seen its affected operations for more than a week. Initially, the company saw payments without contact and click and collected affected orders, although since then it has been restored without contact.
Last Friday, he also said that he could no longer take orders through his website or application to deal with the problem. And the company, which has around 65,000 employees, has not been able to hire new workers after taking out the work publications from its website.
London’s metropolitan police force has launched an investigation into the attack on MANDS.
METROANDThe last update of S arrives a day after Harrods said he had restricted Internet access in his sites as a precautionary measure after an attempt to obtain unauthorized access to his systems.
“We are not asking our clients to do something differently at this point, and we will continue to provide updates as necessary,” Harrods said in a statement.
“Immediately coming from recent infractions in CO-OP and MANDS, highlights an alarming trend, “said Cody Barrow, executive director of experts in eclecticiq cybersecurity.” The burst of attacks showed that cybercriminals are becoming bolder, exploiting weaknesses in complex and highly interconnected supply chains. “
Experts say that generative artificial intelligence is accelerating the threat panorama, and that companies and individuals have to keep up of the developments and underpin their defenses against cyber attacks.
The National Cyber Security Center of the United Kingdom said it was working with affected organizations and providing expert advice to others in the sector.
“These incidents should act as a call for attention to all organizations,” said the agency’s CEO, Richard Horne.
