The Pensions Regulator (TPR) has admitted it was subject to a partially successful ransomware attack during the past three financial years but had blocked over 40,000 other attempts.

Hackers are "ahead in the game" when it comes to bypassing cyber-security and trustees must do more to protect members says RSM's Elisabeth Storey.

RSM has promoted Karen Tasker to partner in its pension team, increasing it to 13 partners.

Nearly one in three pension schemes has been affected by fraud, with victims experiencing a threefold rise in scams in the last 12 months alone, latest RSM research reveals.

The fallout from the British Home Stores (BHS) saga and the government's forthcoming crackdown on scams will be some of the biggest topics in pensions next year.

RSM has promoted Philip Briggs (pictured above right) and Guy Jackson (pictured above left) to partner effective from 1 April.

The intention of the government to increase the scrutiny of master trusts through fresh legislation has been championed by a number of industry players.
