The group is known to use a double extortion method, which means they steal a copy of their victim's data as well as scramble it to make it unusable.They can then effectively ask for a ransom for both unscrambling the data and deleting their copy.

However, if the person or business hacked does not want to pay a ransom, criminals can in some cases start leaking the stolen data to other cyber criminals, who could look to carry out further attacks to gain more sensitive data.At the moment, DragonForce's darknet website does not have any entries about M&S.Jackie Naghten, a business consultant who has worked with big retailers including M&S, Arcadia and Debenhams, told the BBC that the hierarchy at M&S would be taking the data breach "very seriously", but warned modern logistics in retail were "massively complex".

"I feel they have been keeping their powder dry. If they have not got anything positive to say then they are not saying anything," she said.Ms Naghten said on the whole customers were showing a lot of support and sympathy to the retailer.

Adam Dodden, of Wiveliscombe in Somerset, was handed a 12-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, at Taunton Crown Court on Friday.Avon and Somerset Police said: "These images depict the worst possible forms of child abuse and those perpetrators who access them create a market for further images to be produced."

The 40-year-old was also given a 10-year sexual harm prevention order.The court was told that in 2024, Avon and Somerset Police established that indecent images of children were being downloaded by someone at a Wiveliscombe address.
