M&S has been targeted in a cyber attack which has left it unable to process online orders or take contactless payments. Some experts predict it could be costing the company millions of pounds each day.

The notorious hacking group, Scattered Spider is believed to be behind the attack. A cyber security company has told Sky News the group is "one of the most dangerous and active groups" they are monitoring.
