July 8, 201511 yr First, United reports grounding its flights due to "computer issues" : United flights resume after computer problem - Jul. 8, 2015 And now, trading is suspended on Wall Street : WALL STREET: Trading halted on New York Stock Exchange | abc7news.com I smell a coordinated cyber attack! Yes, I read too many Tom Clancy books!
July 8, 201511 yr I would say we are constantly under cyber attack and we are still at the tip of the iceberg.
July 8, 201511 yr I will add that it seemed Webex failed around noon today. (posted in other thread). Very unusual for Webex to fail. No web connections of phone bridging would work. So meeting cancelled.
July 8, 201511 yr Have to be. No way Wall Street shuts down because of technical difficulties. I have a hard time believing they don't have the best people in place to protect their computer systems. Looks like they lost today. They better get that money back......
July 8, 201511 yr Well, my internet service has been spotty since last night. Perhaps I have an overly inflated sense of the importance of moi.

Coincidence? Doubt it. The collapse of Chinese markets has been the bigger problem. About half the companies on their main exchange voluntarily stopped their stock from being traded yesterday amid the single-day dip they'd ever seen.
July 8, 201511 yr NYSE says it is an "internal technical issue" and not an act of cyber-terrorism. Maybe, but still suspicious.
July 8, 201511 yr NYSE says it is an "internal technical issue" and not an act of cyber-terrorism. That's what we'd expect them to say, can't let everyone freak out and crash the market :lol2:
July 8, 201511 yr Yes. No one is paying attention to China right now.....look what is happening to there "stock exchange" the past month.....
July 8, 201511 yr Just wait until they figure out how to successfully take out our entire power grid. We need to work on that very quick as that is one of the, if not the, most serious issue we face.
