LONDON (Reuters) -British retailer Marks and Spencer said on Tuesday some personal customer information was taken in the cyber attack that has crippled its online operation for more than three weeks.

M&S, one of the best known names in British business, stopped taking online orders on April 25, and its share price has fallen 15% since the Easter weekend, when problems with orders first started.
