Email & Cyber Fraud

On Wednesday 21st March representatives from across the Thomas Miller Businesses (incl. UK P&I Club, TT Club, ITIC, Thomas Miller Specialty and UK War Risks & Hellenic War Risks Club) hosted a workshop in Athens on Understanding the Maritime Cyber Threat.

In May 2015 Signum Services were requested to investigate an internet based payment diversion fraud concerning a ship owner who had been duped into paying a large sum of money into a fraudster's bank account in Birmingham.

Following the release of today’s Construction PMI figures, Phil Harris, Director at BLP Insurance, comments on the sector: “After skirting precariously close to the abyss, the construction sector has fallen into contraction (49.5) for the first time since March 2018. The main symptoms are a fear of a potential Brexit cliff face, lethargic commercial activity and major concerns about the long-term viability of Help to Buy.

Please note that Monday 11 March 2019 is a public holiday in Greece and the Thomas Miller (Hellas) office will be closed.
