Landmark White get ANZ back on board after data breaches

The property valuation platform Landmark White are making steps to get back on track after two data breaches earlier in the year.

They were dropped by all of the big four banks after a cyber security breach in February. There was a later breach in May.

They have managed to get ANZ back as a client, according to the Australian Financial Review, however Westpac, NAB and CBA are yet to sign back up.

John Wise, chief financial officer of LMW, told the AFR they anticipate their reinstatement in of the company in the near future.

In their full year statutory accounts submitted to the ASX, LMW advised revenues were hit between $6 million to $7 million, with an after tax loss of $15.1 million for the year to June.

They advise their $5.44 million capital raising "will enable the business to restructure its operations in line with an anticipated lower ongoing revenue base following the data disclosure incidents.

"This will enable the business to return to profitability and positive cashflows," LMW stated.

LMW returned to the ASX in August with shares plummeting to 9¢.

Early morning trading has been at 12¢ a share. 

Timothy Rabbit, who has been the acting chief executive since March when Chris Coonan stepped down, has been announced as the permanent CEO.

Rabbit joined LMW in late 2018 following the acquisition of Taylor Byrne, a leading regional property valuation firm with 26 offices across Queensland and New South Wales.

"The progress of the company since Timothy's appointment as acting CEO is a testament to his ability to developer a cohesive group across LMW's business units," company chairman Keith Perrett said.
