Does anyone know Joel Leonoff's email address? thanks in advance

Malcolm I don't think so. It is just a textbook robust response to a journalist emailing the company in order that the company really is viewed as trusted Paysafe brand. They will have cleared this up by the end of the week ready for the investor day, rebrand and move to main list. You can be sure they are working the weekend to be able to be definitive on the outcome of their review by end of next week.

I believe a gang of shorters are forcing this down, very risky imo , no recent security issues and the old breeches were dealt with robustly and promptly with only a few effected and no one losing money. Same thing happened with Telecom plus at 800p ,shorters with the help of a tipster publishing a very negative report tried to take the share price down to 400p - 500p ,that didn't work ,sp now around 1100p

Noticed this on another site, Barclays Capital Reiterates overweight target 450 on the 30th, and I can see that on my H&L site, makes me feel a great deal better, I must admit I was getting a bit concerned

'encourage all our customers to take up the free 12 months of credit monitoring alerts with Noddle, one of the leading credit reference agencies, using the code TT231.'

Do you think anyone can get away with using that code? I'll give it a try.

Quite a few buys showing after the close, ah well, no pain no gain eh?

Talk talk up 5%. Should be us next week also when this passesRNS Number : 0464ETalkTalk Telecom Group PLC30 October 2015TalkTalk Telecom Group PLC ("Company")Update on cyber attackSince the cyber attack on our website on Wednesday 21(st) October 2015, we have been working to establish what happened and, importantly, understand the extent of any individual customer data stolen during this attack. In light of the potential scale of attack, our responsibility last week was to inform all customers as quickly as possible. Our investigation continues, but we now know the extent of the data accessed is significantly less than originally suspected and can confirm that the following personal data were accessed: - Less than 21,000 unique bank account numbers and sort codes; - Less than 28,000 obscured credit and debit card details (as previously stated, the middle 6 digits had been removed) - Less than 15,000 customer dates of birth - Less than 1.2 million customer email addresses, names and phone numbers. As we have previously confirmed, the credit and debit card details cannot be used for financial transactions. In addition, we have shared the affected bank details with the major UK banks so they can take their usual actions to protect customers' accounts in the highly unlikely event that a criminal attempts to defraud them. We also encourage all our customers to take up the free 12 months of credit monitoring alerts with Noddle, one of the leading credit reference agencies, using the code TT231.Even though the scale of the attack is significantly smaller than initially suspected, we continue to advise customers to be vigilant, and to take all precautions possible to protect themselves from scam phone calls and emails.We want to make customers aware that we will not call or otherwise contact them regarding this incident and ask for bank details or other financial or personal information.TalkTalk

Worldpay issuing debt ready to snap up opay!

[reddave999] 30/10/2015 14:41

Meanwhile Worldpay heads north FFS.

Got to bounce off £3.

[shoobmeister] 30/10/2015 14:33

Looking to buy in but not before 275p. I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that it would hit that price. Seems like every other year they are having a breach. For a payments company that isn't good Craic and they should invest more in cyber security

[geraldus] 30/10/2015 14:31

Apparently tipped as a buy on Citywire this morning for Halloween.

[saj3] 30/10/2015 14:26

It is very hard to get a decent entry with mm's messing with the price

[admin900] 30/10/2015 14:22

Very painful to see back to 300p what a load of rubbish 4k loss.

[heliweli] 30/10/2015 14:20

The way it is going we will see £3 before £4 but I hope not.

[high park] 30/10/2015 14:16

That's exactly the problem, Reddave. Why bother with OPAY if it's just as unsafe as anybody else?
Actually I don't understand any of it. OPAY were notified that "there were data breaches in 2011".Were they not aware of this at the time? Was nobody aware of this at the time? And they just carried on un-knowingly, and there were no adverse consequences? So why bring it up in an RNS now, blatant share price manipulation? Just before the name change can't help the new company much.
I think we should be told. Preferably in a new RNS explaining everything very clearly.

[eh9] 30/10/2015 14:13

Aviva customer data was out there too. Where do you think car crash chasers etc get their data. Plus this is old data. Bet u we see £4 before December.

[bennya] 30/10/2015 13:49

Funny how people's attitudes change after a bit of scaremongering, this is the same company everyone was raving about last week and nothing has fundamentally changed, it's still a great business, v. under valued and massive growth potential. Sit tight and watch everything go back to normal next week, treat this as a great buying opportunity! GLA

[eh9] 30/10/2015 13:37

It is a textbook response to a journalist email. Once proved the data is old and related to old breaches this will actually increase trust in the company

[pshevlin] 30/10/2015 13:34

Seems like the news has attracted all the shorters so we are in for a bumpy ride until further good news is out.

[heliweli] 30/10/2015 13:33

After the last director fiasco which made the share price plummet and now this its bound to put off mañy investors. Its as if they have a death wish.
