The website infrastructure supplier for the Financial Conduct Authority is having technical issues, leaving the regulator unable to update its website.

The CISI, the professional body which runs the Certified Financial Planner qualification, says it will consider compensating victims of the cyber attack its website suffered recently.

The attack on the CISI website - which targeted credit card transactions - came from a "highly organised international attacker", Financial Planning Today understands.

The CISI has launched an investigation after a website attack resulted in 1,000 customers and members being exposed to the risk of credit card fraud.
