The international monetary fund has been hit by a 'serious' cyber attack. There is at this time no indication as to what the hackers have managed to obtain however according to the New York times so called computer experts have labeled the attack "large".  The 'IMF' is not an unexpected target however, their database contains a wealth of confidential financial information related to various fiscal dealings amongst national. Potentially released/obtained information includes countries bailout programs as well as international communications between countries financial leaders.

Scandal has broken in the city of London as a number of prominent lawyers are to face investigations into alleged financial 'irregularties'. One of the most prominent suspects is 'Christopher Grierson' who was until recently one of the most respected lawyers in the entire country and runner up for the prestigious 'Laywer of the Year' award in 2010. If claims hold true Grierson was also busy amassing over £1 million in false expenses over a four year period. Methods included booking high expense flights, claiming the value of the tickets back from his firm and then proceeding to cancel the flight... Seems like a smart dude.
