Moody’s downgrades Turkey’s credit rating to ‘junk’ status
– canadianbusiness.com
NEW YORK, N.Y. – Moody’s has downgraded Turkey’s credit rating to “junk” status, a further blow to an economy shaken by terrorist attacks, a failed military coup and a diplomatic spat with Russia.
The rating agency on Friday lowered its rating on Turkey’s debt one notch, stripping it of investment-grade status. The move could mean higher borrowing costs as investors demand steeper interest rates to take on riskier Turkish debt.
Moody’s indicated it expects Turkey’s economic growth to be weighed by political turmoil following July’s coup attempt that could scare off vital foreign investment and stall economic reforms.
It also cited the impact on the country’s tourism industry from a string of extremist attacks and a row over Turkey’s downing of a Russian warplane last year that has kept Russian visitors away.

Yahoo hack: How to protect yourself
– moneysense.ca
This week, news hit that around 500 million Yahoo accounts were hacked by a state-sponsored attack. For a while, Yahoo was the main email provider for Rogers customers, so some Canadians could be affected. What does this mean for the safety of your financial information? We spoke to Toronto-based cyber-security expert, Dave Lewis to find out.
Am I affected?
You may have received an email from Rogers informing you of the hack, prompting you to change your password. In a statement to Newstalk 1010, Rogers said that Yahoo is looking into the issue and that so far, no account numbers or credit card information has been stolen. In the next few days, you may want to check out HaveIBeenPwned.com, says Lewis. It’s a site that documents email addresses that have been breached in some way. Of course, it may take some time for it to update to include the latest Yahoo hack.
No credit card information stolen—that’s good right?
Yes and no. Banks and credit unions will protect you against anti-fraud…
