By Joe Tidy • Jun 06, 2025 The Marks & Spencer hackers sent an abuse-filled email directly to the retailer’s boss gloating about what they had done and demanding payment, BBC News has learnt. The message to M&S CEO Stuart Machin – which was in broken English – was sent on the 23 April from the hacker group DragonForce using an employee email account.

Huge and disruptive cyberattacks are now a fact of life. London hospitals were plunged into chaos last year when the blood-testing giant Synnovis was hacked.

The supermarket hacks have probably registered more widely with the public because they are so visible. Stores are struggling with empty shelves, card machines offline and website services shut down.
