Marks & Spencer has revealed that some personal information relating to thousands of customers was taken in the cyber-attack that has crippled its online operation for more than three weeks.

Since the retailer's IT systems were hit by a ransomware attack over the Easter weekend, it has not been taking online orders, and the availability of some products in its stores has been affected after it took some of its systems offline in response.
