In India's IT land, a tale is told,
About Tata Consultancy Services, young and bold.
They helped M&S for years, a decade long,
A partnership strong.
But hackers came, with cyber might,
Gained access via a third party in sight.
TCS and M&S, declined to say,
What really happened, day by day.
The FT reported, with sources so fine,
The investigation would conclude in time.
By the end of the month, all would be clear,
But for now, customers held dear.
Their online shopping, a distant dream,
Since April's end, it seemed extreme.
But M&S said, with a hopeful grin,
Services would return, and all would win.
The cyber-attack, a costly blow,
£300m hit, this year's profits would know.
The police focused, on a group so sly,
Scattered Spider, with a wicked eye.
They attacked the Co-op, and Harrods too,
But M&S suffered, with a bigger clue.
TCS said, with a proud little smile,
We have 607,000 employees, all the while.
We're lead sponsors, of three marathons grand,
New York, London, and Sydney, in demand.
Our clients are many, and well-known too,
The Co-op, easyjet, Nationwide, and Jaguar, anew.
But will the probe, look at the Co-op's plight?
Only time will tell, in the dark of night.
M&S CEO, said with a steady hand,
We're managing the attack, in a targeted land.
No ransom paid, he said with a frown,
But the investigation, will turn it around.
So let's wait and see, what the future holds,
For TCS, M&S, and their cyber-gold.
