From betabeat: The hacker collective Anonymous has released another video and with it, another declaration of war–this time on the New York Stock Exchange. A serious attack on the NYSE’s infrastructure would devastate global trade, but Anonymous’s exact aim is unclear. However, the hacker collective is planning to overwhelm the exchange’s public-facing website, NYSE.com, in a DDOS attack.
If the hackers take down the NYSE, it could actually ding the industry the protesters haven’t really managed to hurt yet–aside from disrupting the usually-quiet morning walks of some of the area’s bankers. (Note: Many of the city’s finance professionals don’t work on Wall Street–most of the trading is now done digitally, leaving the trading floor to ossify into an increasingly irrelevant symbol.)
