Wannabuy? Or Wannacry? Sorry couldn't resist that pun!

Is that back to the 'placing bread into toaster' stage? Or spreading the butter before applying the marmalade?

Ahem, no. But you get my point about this 'Ponzi' scheme? Respect due for those in before the herd (Except for bent Financial Journalists and BOD).

http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/midasextra/article-4502782/Ambitious-cyber-security-firm-booming.html IMHO The Mail article is in the guise of 'long term investor' guidance. The journalist in question, Joanne Hart has acted with great irresponsibly, given her 'financial journalist' for the Mail. Especially when you consider the current climate of national fear & panic. She may claim not to have a vested interested, but you can be damn sure her friends and family do. When will people learn! Wisdom says diversify, spread your investments. I hope the long term (ISA & SIPP) investors come too their senses and realise they're getting seriously f***ed-over by the likes of Joanne Hart, her friends and family (and other traders) before its too late. Now back to that toast and marmalade. https://www.nccgroup.trust/uk/about-us/newsroom-and-events/press-releases/2016/august/47-of-nhs-trusts-in-england-admit-to-falling-victim-to-ransomware/

rivaldo - agree with your sentiments. NCC carried out their own research by FOI requests to NHS trusts nationwide. 60 Trusts responded with 31 of these withheld information with many citing patient confidentiality. However, 28 confirmed they had indeed been a victim of ransomware. ONLY ONE TRUST said they had NOT been HIT in the last year, BUT that they had been INFECTED in the past. https://www.nccgroup.trust/uk/about-us/newsroom-and-events/press-releases/2016/august/47-of-nhs-trusts-in-england-admit-to-falling-victim-to-ransomware/ The Daily Mail Article: (By Hugo Duncan and Sabah Meddings For The Daily Mail) Published: 21:50, 15 May 2017 | Updated: 21:50, 15 May 2017 'Shares in cyber security groups soared yesterday as investors bet on a surge in spending by governments and businesses desperate to protect themselves from hacking attacks.

Time to resign Jeremy? - How can Jeremy Hunt (Secretary of State for Health) bat this away? (Old) press release, dated 24 Aug 2016 https://www.nccgroup.trust/uk/about-us/newsroom-and-events/press-releases/2016/august/47-of-nhs-trusts-in-england-admit-to-falling-victim-to-ransomware/ The FOI request was made by global risk mitigation and cyber security expert NCC Group. 60 Trusts responded with 31 of these withheld information with many citing patient confidentiality. However, 28 confirmed they had indeed been a victim of ransomware. Only one Trust said they had not been hit in the last year, but that they had been infected in the past. Ransomware is a type of malware that restricts access to systems in some way, often by encrypting files and then demanding a ransom to obtain access. With NHS Trusts holding a range of sensitive data on patients and employees, a piece of ransomware could cause serious disruption to services and ultimately impact patient care. Ollie Whitehouse, technical director at NCC Group said: “The damage that a successful ransomware attack can cause makes these findings not simply an issue for a Trust’s IT team, but for its board of directors too. Paying the ransom – which isn’t something we would advise – can cost significant sums of money, yet losing patient data would be a nightmare scenario for an NHS Trust. “In the past the ransomware writers were sometimes quite careless and there was often a way to retrieve files. However, they have improved their capabilities and data retrieval is usually no longer an option. It makes preparation even more important.” Many ransomware attacks are delivered via phishing emails. These are often well crafted and disguised to resemble something non-malicious to fool the recipient. Phishing emails often take the form of parcel delivery notifications, imaginary customer complaints or fake official letters. Whitehouse continued: “There is no silver bullet or one single solution that can stop this type of attack, despite what many security companies may claim. Instead, we would recommend a multi-layered approach, applying robust controls such as regular patching of software, using up-to-date anti-virus and educating staff as to the risks posed by phishing and ransomware.” ENDS Media contact: Lucy Giles @ MC2 – 0161 236 1352 Notes to editors About the FOI The FOI was sent out to all NHS Trusts in England in April 2016. They were asked: “have you suffered from a ransomware attack in the last year?”. 155 Trusts were approached and 60 responded. Of those who responded, 31 withheld information, 28 said they had been a victim and one said they had not.

Consider the following: https://www.uk-cpi.com/news/cpi-haydale-collaborate-smart-filter-project/ The Innovate UK funded project known as Smart Filter, is led by Haydale Graphene Industries PLC (HAYD) (Specialised in functionalised graphene enhanced epoxy resins) and includes CPI, G2O Water Technologies Ltd. and Sellafield Ltd. Membrane filters can be applied to a variety of industrial liquid and gas separation applications such as water/oil separation during oil drilling, water desalination and industrial waste water treatment. The aim of the Smart Filter project is to develop a low cost self-cleaning coating technology based on functionalised graphene, which once applied to industrial membranes increases their resistance to fouling and enhances ion removal. The technology has already been demonstrated successfully in lab-scale tests. Led by Haydale Limited, the project will translate the existing lab-scale work into a working manufacturing process which can be scaled-up to enhance the performance of existing filter membranes. The coating will be formulated and validated by the consortium in nuclear waste water separation applications. Applicability into other areas will be investigated to ensure the resulting smart product can be taken to market and be readily applied to improve the performance of a broad range of industrial processes. http://www.manchester.ac.uk/discover/news/major-uk-graphene-manufacturer-joins-the-ngi Major UK graphene manufacturer joins the NGI The National Graphene Institute (NGI) has signed a collaborative partnership with a leading UK graphene company to accelerate the commercialisation of applications. Haydale Graphene Industries, the group focused on enabling technology for the commercialisation of graphene and other nanomaterials based in South Wales, work closely with the NGI and have now agreed a formal partnership which aims to leverage each party’s particular expertise in order to seek opportunities to develop and commercialise graphene products and applications. http://www.ceas.manchester.ac.uk/news-and-events/breakthrough-made-in-creation-of-graphene-desalination-sieve.htm One of the hurdles to taking graphene to a commercial market has been production.

Graphene oxide is more scalable and cost-effective than graphene, which gives it an advantage when it comes to potential industrialisation. However, graphene oxide has not previously been suitable for the desalination of common salts, as membranes made from it have a tendency to swell in water and let smaller salt molecules through.
