business π¬ Morgan Stanley leak rocks Hong Kong finance scene
A confidential deal pipeline from Morgan Stanley was accidentally leaked this week, causing alarm across the Hong Kong banking sector. An email from a Hong Kong-based employee contained a file detailing over 100 deals spanning Greater China, India, and South Asia.

Regulators and issuers are now reacting to the breach of sensitive financial information. π¬
