Who’s Hacking UK Stores in 2025?

Wondering who’s behind all those cyber hits on big names like M&S, Co-op, and Harrods? Me too! 

1. Ransomware Rebels
I didn’t even know these existed, but Groups like LockBit or ALPHV’s spin-offs. Apparently they ‘love’ holding retail data hostage. Why? Because shops panic and pay up to avoid chaos. Has anyone else ever heard of groups like this before? If not why?

2. Gov-Backed Groups
Spies are real. It seems global they want cash or chaos and just maybe our loyalty card points should come with a warning ⚠️ 

3. AI Scammers
Imagine bots writing phishing emails ‘so good’ day to day office staff click them. That’s 2025’s new nightmare.  

Why retailers?
Apparently our data’s a goldmine. Their outdated supply chains? Full of weak links.  

Stay frosty 🥶
