Group accuses Reuters of IT break-in: Intentia, a Swedish information technology group, will today file criminal charges against Reuters after the UK news agency published the company's third-quarter results before they were officially announced last week.
The Swedish company accused Reuters of breaking into its IT systems without authorisation last Thursday, the day it published the figures.
Reuters also published third-quarter figures from three other Nordic companies last week before the results were officially released [...]
Intentia said an internal investigation showed there was "unauthorised entry" into its IT systems "via an IP address belonging to Reuters".
"The entry took place at 12.51pm on October 24. At approximately 12.57pm Reuters published the first news flash giving information on Intentia's third-quarter result without prior confirmation from the company. Intentia issued its earnings report ahead of schedule at 1.22pm on the same day."
