Bank Of England Admits Traders Hacked Its Press Briefings

Nothing to see here. No way that information helped anyone. No way anyone at the BoE knew what was going on.

(From Zerohedge)

In a press release issued late on Wednesday, the Bank of England said that following concerns raised with the Bank, “we have recently identified that an audio feed of certain of the Bank press conferences – installed only to act as a back-up in case the video feed failed – has been misused by a third party supplier to the Bank since earlier this year to supply services to other external clients.”…

…The BOE’s shocking admission was in response to a report earlier in the day by the Times, according to which hedge funds had been eavesdropping on the Bank of England’s press conferences before they are officially broadcast after its internal systems were “hijacked”.
