So, it looks like the retail giant Marks & Spencer decided to turn your shopping data into an open secret. Fancy that! Who knew that sharing your birthday and online shopping history could be so risky? 😂

The British behemoth worth a nifty $9.67 billion, with stores in over 62 countries (because why not invade the world?) just had a little cyber party—except the hackers crashed it. Surprise! 🎉

In a classy move, an M&S exec spilled the tea: “Your personal info—like contact details, birthdays, and what you bought last Christmas—has been stolen.” But don’t worry, your credit card info is still safe—unless you’re using it for something wildly illegal. Oh, and no passwords, so no need to panic about your secret identity. 💼

Heads up: You might start receiving emails, texts, or calls “from” M&S—except they’re probably not. Yep, even the hackers are trying to sound legit now. 🙄

At least thousands of you are now part of the “Oops, our data was stolen” club, out of the 9.4 million online M&S shoppers as of March 2024. Consistency is key, right? 🎯

The chaos appears linked to a hacking squad called “DragonForce”—because who wouldn’t want a group with such a majestic name? They’ve also claimed to have ransacked Co-op Food, proving that hacking breakfast cereal is their true passion. 🍽️

They even reached out to the BBC—because who doesn’t enjoy bragging about stolen data on a global stage? The hackers have shown screenshots of chatting with Co-op’s cyber security boss, basically saying, “Yep, we took your customer and employee info—and we’re not sorry.”

In case you’re wondering, they told Co-op, “Hello, we exfiltrated the data from your company. We have customer database, and Co-op member card data.” So, yeah—your shopping habits are now probably on the dark web. Awesome.

And the aftermath? Still being figured out, like a DIY IKEA furniture piece—confusing, frustrating, and slightly dangerous.
