This isn't much of an issue for traders That's a nice benefit of having 40+ trading venues in the US. They had problems at the open as well with connectivity on one of their gateways. Issues like this crop up all the time and most of the time they are resolved before the open. The good news is that they aren't reporting any lost trades or trade busts yet so this isn't as bad as the BATS open at BATS:) Having said tha…

Or any usb stick containing malware. Malware doesn't have to be continuously connecting to communicate with command and control.

Wow, the first racist comment I've read on HN. Must be because reddit kicked you out.

As if reddit actually kicks out racists.

If anything, I've noticed a surge in the amount of them on reddit lately.

As someone in the know, you could not be more wrong. But guesses are like opinions, right?

You are in the know, because "you run a sweat shop with little regard for the welfare of your employees"? For what little it is worth, I've found H1B employees to run the full range of amazing incompetent at rates indistinguishable (by me) from "natives" in the Bay Area.

Er, I didn't mean that to sound accusatory. I was questioning if that is what the poster actually meant.

Genuinely curious: What are your qualifications?

I work at the exchange...there's no off-shore sweat shop. There are no people in india running commands or coding for 90 hrs a week. Folks in multiple US cities fixed this problem, including myself. I've only read comments here previously until I saw all this speculation. Its funny people are so adamant in their theories despite no evidence besides circumstance.

It was a complex IT problem (no I can't get into more details) that we fixed. No hacking attempt, no conspiracy with the United Airlines Issue or WSJ...shit breaks.

Anyway, back to my idling in the background.

If there's smoke there's fire. In my view, Occam's razor might indicate that coincidence is unlikely, and that the two major incidents in US on the same day China's market crash suggest it's a state sponsored cyber attack.

> In my view, Occam's razor might indicate that coincidence is unlikely, and that the two major incidents in US on the same day China's market crash suggest it's a state sponsored cyber attack. Occam's razor calls for an explanation that does not require the unneeded introduction of a new variable. If you need a state sponsored cyber attack as the alternative explanation, the coincidence theory should be preferred.

Cyberattacks originating from China is not a new variable

What in particular do you think is wrong in the GP's comment? I see a bunch of pretty much self-evident statements about quality of work produced in sweatshops.

Self-evident is a strong word to use despite no actual evidence being presented.

Er, I didn't mean that to sound accusatory. I was questioning if that is what the poster actually meant.

I posted above....it was a complex IT problem, fixed by individuals in multiple US cities, by US citizens. No hacking attempt, no Wall Street conspiracy...computers just break, and today they broke more than normal.

Btw, i'm purposely being vague since this isn't really public information. All i'm here to say is we don't run sweat shops, this wasn't a hacking attempt, there is no relation to the issues at United Airlines and WSJ...and last but certainly not least...

It's fun to guess at what's happening but folks should be shunning people who present their ideas as "self-evident" without presenting any actual evidence. Since when do we take people's word for it on the net anymore with a "source"?
