Landmark White blames lenders for media leak of second data theft

Landmark White chairman Keith Perrett blamed his clients for alerting journalists to a second theft of the valuation company's documents and called his firm the "victim" of a situation in which "completely unwarranted" suspensions were damaging its revenue and cashflow.

Mr Perrett also railed against the person or persons responsible for uploading an unknown number of documents - which ranged from valuations to blank forms to invoices and instructions on how to do valuations - to file-sharing site SCRIBD, saying it was a "very deliberate" act intended to damage the company's brand and disrupt it.
