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.

A hacking group called Scattered Spider is believed to be behind the reported ransomware attack on Marks & Spencer.

Harrods, a globally recognized purveyor of all things luxury, is the third major UK retailer to confirm an attempted cyberattack on its systems in under two weeks. It confirmed the incident in a statement, hinting that, like Co-op's case earlier in the week, the attack may not have been successful.
