NYTimes/Dealbook :- Nine Charged in Insider Trading Case Tied to Hackers Actually a couple of days old now but WOW. Very Interesting... dozens of rogue stock traders would send overseas hackers a shopping list of corporate news releases they wanted to get a sneak peek at before they were made public. The hackers, working from Ukraine, would then deliver how-to videos by email with instructions for gaining access to the pilfered earnings releases.
