The New Zealand Exchange said the bourse was placed into a trading halt at about 11.10am local time “as a result of network connectivity issues relating to DDoS cybersecurity attacks”. The exchange’s website also crashed as a result of the cyberattacks, which experts believe likely originated offshore.
“We continue to address the threat and work with cybersecurity experts, and we are doing everything we can to resume normal trading tomorrow.” The Financial Markets Authority, which regulates the bourse, said it remained in “close contact” with the NZX over the issue.
