The NZ Stock Exchange (NZX) has been halted after its website went down for a third day in a row.
Trading was halted prior to the market closing on Tuesday, and was closed for most of yesterday after an offshore cyber attack.
The type of attack is known as a distributed denial of service attack (DDoS), which overwhelms the online service
rendering it inoperable.
A spokesperson for the NZX says if the website goes down, they cease trading because retail punters cannot see the
market announcements being made.
