Anonymous takes down New York Stock Exchange; media pretends cyber attack was technical incompetence ‘glitch’

Demonstrating America’s extreme vulnerability to activist-driven hackers who are trying to make a point, the New York Stock Exchange was shuttered for most of the day yesterday, stalling out hundreds of billions of dollars in trades.
The lying mainstream media, of course, has rolled out a pathetic (yet hilarious) cover story on all this, claiming there was no hack. Instead, the NYSE is just wholly incompetent and can’t run its own computer systems reliably, we’re told.
Apparently, it would be far worse to admit that Anonymous hackers were able to shut down the NYSE at will, bringing Wall Street to its knees without even being anywhere near Wall Street. “International hacking group Anonymous wished Wall Street ill the night before the New York Stock Exchange temporarily suspended trading on all securities,” reports The Hill. “Anonymous has previously targeted Wall Street and made headlines in 2011 when it threatened to ‘destroy’ the New York Stock Exchange.”
We’re all so incredibly incompetent, it couldn’t possibly have been an attack!
All the usual lying media outlets are, predictably, covering up the truth that this was a cyber attack. Reuters reported the outage was due to “an internal technical issue and not the result of a cyber attack.”
In other words, they have to go out of their way to insist this was NOT a cyber attack. And why do they need to do that? Because it was a cyber attack, of course. No trading event should ever be believed as true until the NYSE officially denies it.
Not only was it a cyber attack, it was a damn successful cyber attack. It shuttered the world’s largest stock exchange for nearly half a day, after all. And although it didn’t quite lead to hoardes of investment bankers flinging themselves off tall buildings — that chapter is yet to come — it was nonetheless a remarkably effective deployment of hacking assets against one of the world’s largest financial targets.
It was all just coincidence? Really?
