BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

WH Smith

(Reuters) — British retailer WH Smith said Thursday it was investigating a cyber security incident that led to illegal access to some company data, including that of existing and former employees.

The company, whose shops are a common sight at U.K. airports and train stations, said its website, customer accounts and underlying customer databases are on separate systems and were not affected.

The incident did not impact its trading activities either.
