NEW YORK (Reuters) - The NYSE Group, which includes the New York Stock Exchange, has suspended trading in all securities due to technical difficulties, the unit of Intercontinental Exchange Inc (ICE.N) said on Wednesday.


"We will be providing further updates as soon as we can, and are doing our utmost to produce a swift resolution, communicate thoroughly and transparently, and ensure a timely and orderly market reopen," a spokeswoman for the exchange operator said in a statement.
The stocks continue to trade on other exchanges, such as those run by Nasdaq OMX Group (NDAQ.O) and BATS Global Markets.
"It's under control," Mark Otto of market maker J. Streicher & Co in New York said on the NYSE floor. "We're just waiting for word. There's no sign of panic at all."
The issues at NYSE came on the same day that computer problems led United Airlines to ground all its flights for about two hours.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said there were no signs" that the problems at NYSE and United Airlines stemmed from "malicious activity," CNN reported.

...

United had grounded all planes for hours:

United Airlines (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/business/airlines/united-airlines.htm) flights were temporarily halted nationwide this morning after the FAA said a computer glitch -- something it called "automation issues” -- forced planes to be grounded.
The FAA’s Air traffic Control System Command Center reported that planes have been grounded at all airports, although the system slowly returned back to normal.

Seems WSJ lost their homepage for awhile right after NYSE went down. They got it back up, but DOW Jones isn't saying anything about it.

Must say it's very weird.

Now who or what country has a problem with markets, traveling, and financial news and proven means to hack?

Of course my first thought is China. But who the hell knows these days who ISIS is able to pay to help them with the money they are making off of the oil and banks. But to pull off a massive hack, I'm leaning towards China.

And this:

While all Western eyes remain firmly focused on Greece, a potentially much more significant financial crisis is developing on the other side of world. In some quarters, it’s already being called China’s 1929 – the year of the most infamous stock market crash in history and the start of the economic catastrophe of the Great Depression.

In any normal summer, a 30pc fall in the Chinese stock market – a loss of value roughly equivalent to the UK’s entire economic output last year – after an ascent which had seen share prices more than double within the space of a year would have been front page news across the globe.

The dramatic series of government interventions to stem the panic – hitherto unsuccessful, it should be added – would similarly have been up there at the top of the news agenda. Yet the pantomime of the Greek debt talks, together with the tragi-comedy of will they, won’t they leave the euro, has relegated the story to little more than a footnote - even though 940 companies, more than a third, have now suspended trading on China’s two main indices.

The parallels with 1929 are, on the face of it, uncanny. After more than a decade of frantic growth, extraordinary wealth creation and excess, both economies – America in 1929 and China today – are at roughly similar stages of economic development. Both these booms, moreover, are in part explained by extremely rapid credit growth. Indeed, China’s credit boom dwarfs that of even the “roaring Twenties”. Borrowed money, or margin investing, played a major role in both these outbreaks of speculative excess.

True, the Chinese stock market bubble is only a one-year wonder, whereas the build-up to the Wall Street Crash of 1929 was more sustained. Even so, the comparison still holds. As noted by JK Galbraith in his classic account, The Great Crash 1929, even as late as 1927 it was possible to argue that American stocks represented fair value.

Though there don't seem to be any hints of protectionism or tax hikes in their future and hopefully they don't have an executive as bad as Hoover. It may just be a 1987 or 2000 type "bubble."

"It's the end of the world as we know it". <--- can't remember who sings that and don't care, just had it pop into my head. It will likely be there for the next few months. :(

I'm not as concerned with China crashing as I am with those crazy fuckers trying to hack and cause us harm in other ways. They can certainly cause harm if they fuck up our financial system, or shutdown airlines. Perhaps it is just a glitch, and a coincidence, but I still don't truth them.

I got my eye on you China.

I believe we was just talking man. You know, tossing a few ideas back and forth, nothing in stone though. Maybe we created an international incident for no reason? :poke:

C'mon man, there's no stupidity in discussing ideas, even without the full facts, just ideas. What happened, in one day, is just odd is all. So we tossed out our thoughts. :chillpill: Hell, 90% of the threads on the board are based solely on opinions. I really don't understand what the big dealio is? And please don't say never mind, or forget it, help me understand muchacho?

Day of ‘technical’ glitches puts lawmakers on edge By Peter Schroeder and David McCabe - 07/08/15 09:02 PM EDT





Lawmakers are having a hard time swallowing the idea that a major stock exchange, a global airline and a prominent media outlet coincidentally suffered major outages on the same day.


The New York Stock Exchange halted trading for roughly four hours Wednesday, and United Airlines had to ground all of its flights in the morning, both citing technical problems as the culprit. And shortly after the stock exchange went down, the homepage for The Wall Street Journal crashed.

...

But FBI Director James Comey acknowledged the timing of the outages could certainly lead to questions and vowed to examine the matter.


“We are not big believers in coincidence either,” he told the Senate Intelligence Committee Wednesday. “We want to dig into that. So we’ve been in contact with all three companies to understand what’s going on.


“In my business you don’t love coincidences, but [it] does appear there is not a cyber intrusion involved,” he added.

International hacking group Anonymous wished Wall Street ill the night before the New York Stock Exchange temporarily suspended trading on all securities.
The activist group tweeted late Tuesday:

I think the logical outcome with the comparison would be that there would be serious issues if that were to happen, not that it would "take down the world". It could theoretically cause a shitload of issues though. The article basically was pointing out the similarities was all.
