An interesting few days in London last week at the annual derivatives bash, IDX. Naturally much of the debate and discussion was on the impending collision of the OTC and exchange-traded worlds that Dodd-Frank and EMIR are determined to orchestrate. Unlike equities, the worlds of OTC and exchange-traded derivatives have gone merrily down parallel...

What should RBS do first to clear up the mess left behind from the computer failure?

Two days ago Finextra reported on the 'hacktivist' Reckz0r. In a nutshell, the hacker claimed initially to have hacked into Visa and Mastercard, and went on to leak hundreds of account info. No worries though, he is a nice grey hat who just wants to expose security frailties, so no card numbers are shown. Later, he explained that, no, it was some ...
