The NYSE system crash was an infosec incident

The NYSE system crash was an infosec incident

On Wednesday, July 8, a number of information systems suffered “glitches,” causing speculation that the US may be under a coordinated cyber attack. In the morning, United Airline grounded more than a thousand flights due to computer issues; around noon, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) suspended trading due to a “technical issue;” shortly after, the Wall Street Journal’s (WSJ) website went down; and during all this, the New York subway had train issues, and thousands of customers in D.C. lost power. It must be the Cyber Armageddon, right?
