The lying mainstream media, of course, has rolled out a pathetic (yet hilarious) cover story on all this, claiming there was no hack. Instead, the NYSE is just wholly incompetent and can't run its own computer systems reliably, we're told.

Apparently, it would be far worse to admit that Anonymous hackers were able to shut down the NYSE at will, bringing Wall Street to its knees without even being anywhere near Wall Street. "International hacking group Anonymous wished Wall Street ill the night before the New York Stock Exchange temporarily suspended trading on all securities," reports The Hill. "Anonymous has previously targeted Wall Street and made headlines in 2011 when it threatened to 'destroy' the New York Stock Exchange."
