Russians might be behind Kiwi stock exchange outage

Fancy Bear likely candidate

Russian hackers associated with Csar Vlad Putin may have taken down the New Zealand stock exchange for two days.

NZX said it had first been hit by a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack from abroad, on Tuesday. The exchange said the attack had "impacted NZX network connectivity" and it had decided to halt trading in cash markets just before 16:00 local time.

Trading halted briefly for a second time, on Wednesday, but was back up and running before the end of the day.

A second attack had halted trading for a large chunk of the working day - from 11:24 to 15:00 local time, the exchange said.
