In late August , news broke that the New Zealand exchange NZX had been the victim of a series of cyber attacks. The attackers used DDoS to stop the bidding - and they succeeded.
What happened
Trading on NZX on August 26 was completely stopped for three and a half hours as a result of a DDoS attack. This was not the first attempt to influence the exchange engine, but the day before, the exchange was able to repel the attack.
