Someone’s hitting big UK retail firms. First it was M&S, then Co-Op, and now it’s Harrod’s. BBC reports:
The luxury department store Harrods says it is the latest retailer to have been targeted by a cyber attack.
The firm said it had “restricted internet access at our sites” following an attempt to gain access to its systems.
It comes the day after the Co-op shut down parts of its IT systems to fend off a hack, while Marks & Spencer continues to deal with a cyber attack that has cost it millions of pounds in lost sales.
Harrods said its flagship store remained open, and it continues to operate its online sales.
Harrods did not clarify what the scale of the impact on its network was, but said customers were being asked to “not do anything differently at this point”.
