Tech Experts Comment on UA, NYSE Computer Problems
Pierluigi Stella, Chief Technology Officer of Network Box USA (www.networkboxusa.com):
“These 2 stories (UA and NYSE) do not seem immediately related to hacking as I’d previously thought; although if a hacker wanted to disrupt operations, this would’ve been a good way to do it. The general issue here is, we depend so much on technology that when something malfunctions the effects cascade broadly and affect large numbers of people.
The reports seem to point to a router issue.
