Anonymous May Have Slowed Down NYSE Site 11 Oct 2011 The website of the New York Stock Exchange slowed down significantly twice on Monday afternoon, the day when the hacker group Anonymous was scheduled to launch a DDoS (distributed denial-of-service) attack on the website, according to an Internet and mobile cloud monitoring company. “We did measure the site from 10 U.S. cities and all our measurements went south at 2:30 p.m.,” said Daniel C. Berkowitz, a spokesman at Keynote Systems in San Mateo, California. Keynote also observed a very severe slow-down at 12:30 p.m. that lasted one minute, about the time that Anonymous said the attack would occur.
