Marks & Spencer Data Breach: A Wake-Up Call for Companies and Consumers
Data breaches are often framed as isolated incidents, but they reveal deeper systemic issues in how companies protect sensitive information. The recent M&S breach, which compromised customer data but not payment details, is a case in point.

As Logan explains, “Attackers excel at piecing together small, seemingly harmless data points to reveal much more sensitive information.” This kind of inference attack can turn a few exposed details into a much larger threat, exploiting trust to gain further access.
