RE:MMIt's been described by the company as a cybersecurity incident. Some news services are referring to it as a cyber attack.
In researching potential reasons for the incident, which is ongoing for at least a week, comments are being relegated to a perception that Kitco is merely a bullion dealer.
When in fact, they really are the one and only news service dedicated to the mining industry, and have a substantial staff, with some news staff and journalists stationed in various parts of the world.
There is a lot of speculation as to whether it is the bullion division or the news division that has been affected by the incident.
