Hackers Hit London Stock Exchange Website Alert Service
Richard Fletcher writes on The Telegraph.co.uk:
The London Stock Exchange is investigating a suspected attack on its website by hackers that has disrupted an alerts service used by more than 14,000 private investors.More here.
The attackers set up hundreds of thousands of erroneous alerts, overloading the LSE website and disrupting the service for legitimate users.
The attack has left the service - which alerts investors when a company in its portfolio makes a stock exchange announcement or when a share price moves outside set parameters - paralysed for almost 48 hours.
