◼ Nasdaq has been been under steady attack for the last 24 hours or so, causing ongoing disruptions for people trying to use the site. Also hit: the BATS Exchange, which accounts for 11%-12% of daily U.S. stock trading activity, although that site seems fine at the moment. - Forbes
As The Guardian notes, Credit for the Nasdaq attack is being claimed by a group called “Operation Digital Tornado by L0NGwave99.”
The group said in a statement that “this DDoS Operation over NASDAQ is done in support of the great and rooted 99% movement, whom the L0NGwave99 Group has decided to give a present.”
