Where will it end?

Audio feeds from Bank of England press conferences were hacked in order to receive information seconds quicker than the competition. In a world where information is power, fast traders have the possibility of making a fortune.

Press conferences are usually streamed on an official Bank of England video feed which is managed by Bloomberg. Several years ago, a back up individual audio feed was installed.

It had been recently discovered that one of its information suppliers streamed the audio feed and sold to clients for up to £5,000 each time for a significant advantage against the competition.

Many hedge funds operate a high frequency trading model where ultrafast computer systems trade by milliseconds in order to make a profit. Any knowledge discovered ahead of rivals can earn millions of pounds.

The UK’s financial watchdog has launched an investigation into the breach which can levy fines or criminal charges.
