Harrods

Harrods, a luxury department store in London, was one of the targets of a series of ransomware attacks in April. The attacks disrupted business operations and resulted in significant financial and reputational damage. The National Crime Agency has arrested four individuals suspected of involvement in these attacks, which also affected other major British retailers. The NCA is continuing its investigation to identify and bring to justice all those responsible.
