Harrods latest retailer to be hit by cyber attack <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

The luxury department store Harrods says it is the latest retailer to have been targeted by a cyber attack.<\/p>\n

The firm said it had “restricted internet access at our sites” following an attempt to gain access to its systems.<\/p>\n

It comes the day after the Co-op shut down parts of its IT systems to fend off a hack, while Marks & Spencer continues to deal with a cyber attack that has cost it millions of pounds in lost sales.<\/p>\n

Harrods said its flagship store remained open, and it continues to operate its online sales.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Customers are not being asked to not “do anything differently at this point”.<\/p>\n

A statement from Harrods read: “We recently experienced attempts to gain unauthorised access to some of our systems.<\/p>\n

“Our seasoned IT security team immediately took proactive steps to keep systems safe and as a result we have restricted internet access at our sites today.<\/p>\n

“Currently all sites including our Knightsbridge store, H beauty stores and airport stores remain open to welcome customers. Customers can also continue to shop via harrods.com.<\/p>\n

“We are not asking our customers to do anything differently at this point and we will continue to provide updates as necessary.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
