Teenage Hackers Behind £300 Million UK Cyberattack?
Teenage Hackers Suspected in £300 Million UK Retail Cyberattack London, England – A wave of cyberattacks targeting major UK retailers has led to a significant investigation by the National Crime Agency (NCA). The NCA has identified the "Scattered Spider" group as a key focus of their inquiry. The attacks caused an estimated £300 million in damages to Marks & Spencer alone. NCA representative Paul Foster stated, "We are looking at the group that is publicly known as Scattered Spider, but we've got a range of different hypotheses, and we'll follow the evidence to get to the offenders." The suspects are believed to be a collective of young, English-speaking hackers, some of whom are teenagers. The investigation continues, and the NCA is pursuing various leads.
