NEWS Online bank egg has had hundreds of thousands of pounds stolen by fraudsters. According to the Independent newspaper, three men have been arrested as a result of a five-month investigation. The National Crime Squad was behind the inquiry - its first into internet fraud. It is unclear whether the attack was a hack or fraud. A spokeswoman for egg insisted there was no breach of security and no money was taken. We'll have more on this story later.
