I'll add my two cents. A long time client turned his affairs over to a son when he and wife went into a home. His son turned the management of his dad's affairs over to an existing firm but his dad strenuously warned him against employing the head of the firm as he had no confidence in him instead to use a family friend at the firm who shortly thereafter retired. The son promptly turned the assets over to the very man his father had warned him about. I pointed out to him the fees looked pretty high last year. This year was no different and the guy had LOST over $30,000 of his 88 year old mother's assets through bad stock trades !! Go figure.

If it was an unknown strain, which was undetectable, how would they even know whether any data was lost ? It's not like someone stole the crown jewels. The data doesn't disappear, the hacker just leaves with a copy of the data.

An article in the Progressive Accountant states that the malware which attacked WK was a new unknown strain undetectable by existing security software. Apparently to date they have found no data lost. I was unable to pull up a link but feel sure it can be accessed from the PA website.

Except for the old link posted by Abby and Rita's memos that's about all the info there has been to see since WK has been mostly -- what's that term? -- incommunicado.

Has anyone seen any assurances from WK that no client files were lost. I've scouted around and see virtually nothing.

Remember how much they were appreciated? So much that we funded a barbeque to send them and they sent a photo back of them enjoying it. The good old days, indeed!

Remember when ATX was just a little company in Maine, with great communications? The good old days.
