Fashion brand Next has continued to see sales boost in the aftermath of a cyber-attack at rival firm M&S.

In April, M&S was hit with a cyber-attack and struggled to get services back to normal, with online orders and click and collect suspended, and limited stock in some stores.

M&S admitted that some personal customer data was taken during the attack.

Next was not the only retailer to benefit from the impact of the M&S cyber-attack with Sainsbury's reporting a boost in sales due to the cyber disruption.

It reported that UK sales had weakened in comparison to the "exceptional performance" seen earlier in the year after the M&S cyber-attack in April, but had been better than anticipated.
