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?

If its true a 15 year old in his bedroom smashed talk talk's already average reputation and drilled its share price ffs.

The share price bounced back after it was discovered a kid did it, rather than some spooky russian gang. Crazy Like that is reassuring Grin

Its just a guess, but I suspect 'they' would take a very very dim view of such actions.
'They' being the FBI among others

Saroa (OK he's not 15) did it from the basement in his parents semi in Hounslow...Laugh
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..Crazy

Surley it's worse that it was a lone 15 year old and not a well organised gang.
