New Zealand stock exchange halted trading after DDoS attacks

New Zealand s stock exchange (NZX) has been impacted by distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks during the last two days. NZX operates New Zealand’s capital, risk, and commodity markets, and supplies market information including real-time stock quotes, market data and news. The stock market announced around 7 AM today that it was able to restore services after it had to halt cash markets yesterday afternoon. However, a recurring DDoS attack from today forced NZX to once again halt trading at 11:14 AM.
