Marks and Spencer paused all online and app orders, days after a cyber incident paralysed its contactless payment system.

M&S was rocked over Easter by technical issues that meant shoppers could not tap their cards to pay or click and collect.

The supermarket chain confirmed Tuesday the hiccups were down to a ‘cyber incident’, with no reports of customer data being compromised.
