TCS Investigating Alleged Role in M&S Cyberattack
Imagine a big company, Marks and Spencer (M&S), got hacked, and some of their customers' information was stolen.
Now, a company called Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), which helps M&S with their computer systems, is checking if they were how the bad guys got in.
They're doing their own investigation to find out if TCS had anything to do with it.
This investigation is expected to finish soon.
The hacking caused a lot of problems for M&S and will cost them a lot of money, and their online services may have issues for a while.

The investigation aims to determine if TCS was the gateway for the attack.
The probe is expected to conclude by the end of the month.

Disruption to online services is likely until July.
