Professor Sawers will have a transformational 04 impact on how we identify and develop new research and training opportunities to support business. In delivering for the public and voluntary sectors, we launched, in conjunction with the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO), a Service Users and Carers Strategy which will allow all of those involved in the provision of care, the opportunity to influence the work of our School of Health and Life Sciences. Our hugely significant impact on the private, public and voluntary sectors is captured in the social benefit we deliver through our applied research, patient care enhancement and the quality of professional training offered to our graduates as well as the upskilling of those already in the professions. This social benefit is complemented by our contribution to the economy of the City of Glasgow and to the Scottish economy. Independent research valued this in 2012 at £444million, a 10 per cent increase since 2010. Our students continue to impress us all with their achievements and success. Students like Haris Ansari who received a National Sports Scholarship to support his weightlifting training as a Commonwealth Games hopeful and Anna Sloan who won Gold in the World Curling championships. Delivering eyecare in Zambia, nursing in India, and providing prosthetics in Cambodia were just a few examples of the inspirational work our Magnusson scholars engaged in to make a positive impact around the world. Finally, a highlight of a great year for our Students’ Association was being recognised for its sector-leading work in promoting equality and diversity at the NUS Awards. Our students and our staff are rightly proud of everything they have achieved in the last year and I hope you enjoy this review of a hugely positive academic year for our University.

  • U.K. Cyber-Security Fine—The FCA Sets a Precedent
    October 2018 Follow @Paul_Hastings U.K. Cyber-Security Fine—The FCA Sets a Precedent By Arun Srivastava, Sarah Pearce & Lara Kaplan What happened? The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), in a landmark cyber-security case, fined Tesco Personal Finance plc (Tesco Bank) £16,400,000 after a foreseeable cyber attack exposed weaknesses in the design of its debit card business and affected 8,261 personal current accounts. It is the first time the FCA has fined a firm for a cyber-security breach. Tesco Bank’s fine was discounted by 30% because it cooperated extensively at an early stage with the FCA in its investigation and put in place an effective consumer redress scheme. The cyber attack took place in the early hours of a Saturday morning in November 2016 before the implementation of the GDPR or PSD2. Hackers generated authentic Tesco Bank customers’ debit card numbers to enter into thousands of fraudulent debit card transactions and made contactless MSD transactions by relying on magnetic stripe rules which carry identifying information about the debit card. The hackers had created virtual cards off the back of genuine debit card numbers despite the fact that the debit cards weren’t designed for contactless use. Personal current account holders began receiving automatic text messages asking them to call Tesco Bank about suspicious activity, which is how Tesco Bank were first informed of the cyber attack. As the number of fraudulent transaction attempts increased, Tesco Bank’s fraud prevention line and Twitter account were overcome with frustrated customers. The FCA found that Tesco Bank violated Principle 2 of its principles of business: that firms should exercise due skill, care, and diligence.
