Is this the new frontier to short shares on the stock market?
Everytime a company gets even a sniff of having lapse technology the shares plummet.
Whether the powers that be really are concerned about data theft or not, the reality must be now that they absolutely have to take it seriously.
Hackers could make serious returns by destroying companies surely?

Saroa (OK he's not 15) did it from the basement in his parents semi in Hounslow... Sarao was arrested last month after the US Department of Justice claimed he had made $40m (£27m) by “spoofing” financial markets, using commercially available trading software to place $200m of false trades from his parents’ home in Hounslow, west London The Police then freeze/confiscate his earnings ...then ask him to post £5 million bail ??? If he'd been working for Goldman Sachs or J.P. Morgan ...he'd probably be their best trader.. |
