spokesperson for NYSE added, “We’re currently experiencing a technical issue that we’re working to resolve as quickly as possible. We will be providing further updates as soon as we can, and are doing our utmost to produce a swift resolution, communicate thoroughly and transparently, and ensure a timely and orderly market re-open.”

The system-wide trading halt began at 11:32 am Eastern Wednesday. The apparent NYSE technical glitch is the second big tech glitch of Wednesday morning: earlier in the day United Airlines grounded its flights due to a network connectivity issue.

Also word that a number of websites and some broadband providers are also experiencing issues.

If this does end up being a hack and can be traced back to Hillary's private servers, I'll laugh my arse off.

Well... They did say the next great war would be through the means of technology... Scary stuff... Feeling kind of uneasy about having money in the market right about now......

Better today than after you take off and the captain says "this is your captain and we've been hacked so drinks are on me."

As somebody who sells network security, we are all currently beating our dicks over the sales opportunities and praying neither hacks were on products that we sell.

This discussion is about bankrupt businesses. I would believe internal incompetence before hacking.

Edit: just the airline am I talking about

Yes. United had to handwrite tickets if they weren't already printed off

With news coming out of China about an impending 1929 type market crash...I wouldn't be surprised if this is all linked somehow.
