Trading halted again, one day after overseas DDoS bombardment that forced stock market to shut down
New Zealand’s stock market has been interrupted by an apparent overseas cyber attack for the second day running.
The Wellington-based NZX exchange went offline at 11.24am on Wednesday and although some connectivity was restored for investors, some trading was halted.
The NZX said it had experienced “network connectivity issues” and that the NZX main board, NZX debt market and Fonterra shareholders market were placed on halt.
However it then announced that those areas would resume trading with the rest of the market at 3pm on Wednesday.
