Las reducciones en la tasa de referencia del BCE, actualmente en 2,25%, reducen los costos de endeudamiento en toda la economía, facilitando la compra de bienes a crédito y estimulando la actividad económica y la inversión. Las tasas más altas combaten la inflación, pero por el momento esa batalla parece haber sido ganada.
NEW YORK (AP) — Victoria’s Secret is postponing the release of its quarterly earnings following a security breach that disrupted the popular lingerie brand’s corporate operations and led it tofor several days last week.
In a Tuesday update, Victoria’s Secretit first detected a “security incident involving its information technology systems” on May 24 — and immediately turned to response protocols in effects “to contain and eradicate unauthorized network access,” which included engaging with third-party experts.The Ohio-based retailer added that it temporarily shut down corporate systems and its retail website on May 26 “as a precaution.” The Victoria’s Secret website in the U.S. stayed dark for several days after, sparking prolonged frustration among shoppers. It wasn’t back online until late Thursday.
While not directly confirmed by Victoria’s Secret, the incident bore hallmarks of a cyberattack involving ransomware. Analysts note thatare facing these kinds of attacks today — and pointed to the reach and length of disruptions impacting Victoria’s Secret’s operations.
Beyond its website, some in-store services at Victoria’s Secret namesake and Pink-branded locations were also shut down due to breach. But on Tuesday, the company said most of those functions had since been restored.
Victoria’s Secret also said Tuesday that it’s still working to fully restore access to its corporate systems, which is why it’s delaying its first-quarter earnings — noting that the process has “prevented employees from accessing certain systems and information” needed to finalize and release the financial report.The prosecutor’s office in the Paris suburb of Nanterre, where victim Nahel Merzouk grew up and was killed in 2023, announced in a statement that magistrates decided Tuesday to send the police officer to trial after a two-year investigation.
The officer, identified in legal documents only as Florian M., was initially detainedpending further investigation. He is expected to face trial in the third quarter of 2026, the prosecutor’s office said.
Merzouk’s family and lawyer did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the announcement.The teenager was shot during a traffic stop in Nanterre. Video showed two officers at the window of the Mercedes the youth was driving, one with his gun pointed at Merzouk. As the car pulled forward, the officer fired once.
