Deutsche Bank cuts Close Brothers price target to 550 (600) pence - 'buy

The trading update will be very interesting and could get us past 400.

Shorts in control currently.

Shorts are using big guns.

Probably creating an exit for some of them.

The 349p battle is in full swing!

It's times like these you wonder how good the online/offline backups were of not only the data but hosted VMs. I've seen many a site when backups report to be working fine then on restore they're not. The VMs should be imaged or in an active/passive cluster.

The details are vague to say the least, at a guess they are going on what contact customers have had from scammers so cantact data has fallen in to cyber criminal hands. Why do i feel there is more bad news to come?

It is indeed worse than first thought. Shambles.

Jds,

6th paragraph down states loss per day in sales.

Guardian states being offline is costing £3.8 million per day.

Rob saunders 750m???????? Blimey this has a fair way to drop then. How much is it costing per day at the moment?

Do we know if personal data has been taken? Expect if it has credit card companies will be sending out new cards to people.

Anyone else smell smoke?

US deal could be the icing on the cake so to speak. Should be announced this afternoon.

Short activity?

Wonder if they ever performed PEN tests?

3500p

I find it hard to believe they had no BCP. If they had insurance covering Cyber attacks they would have had to have had a valid BCP. Interesting times.
