NZX hit by cyber attacks over three days

From Morning Report, 7:52 am on 28 August 2020

The New Zealand Stock Exchange website crashed again yesterday, causing frustrations for the exchange and broking community.

It's the third consecutive day NZX has experienced network connectivity issues relating to apparent cybersecurity attacks.

Trading in its cash markets was halted again yesterday to give the NZX time to address the situation. Meanwhile, users have been left waiting for the service to resume.
