Online activist organization Anonymous reportedly disrupted traffic to the New York Stock Exchange's website briefly on Monday.
The Chicago Tribune said NYSE.com was sluggish and eventually unavailable between 3.35 p.m. and 3:37 p.m. The report also noted confirmation from a NYSE spokesman that trading had not been impacted.
The hacker activist group Anonymous had posted a YouTube video declaring a "war" against the New York Stock Exchange's Web site on Columbus Day at 3:30 p.m. ET.
"On October 10th, NYSE shall be erased from the internet. On October 10th, expect a day that shall never ever be forgot... Wall Street, expect us," the video said.
I watched this young activist........ with his face hidden by the face of the Guy Fawkes mask............ telling Japanese TV...... that the Stock Exchange street should expect Anonymous...... and they should expect a devastating attack....... "these are serious people that will be here long after The New York Stock Exchange has been wiped away" ....... he said....... It all sounded way chilling from behind the Mask.
