The open-access website of the HKEX was hacked yesterday, the second such cyberattack since August 2011.
An unrelated software bug in the vendor-supplied trading platform, which forced the exchange to suspend derivatives trading yesterday, has been isolated and fixed.

The open-access website of the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) was subject to a distributed denial-of service attack (DDoS), where hackers overwhelmed the network with massive incoming traffic, which slowed down and disrupted its ability to display exchange prices and financial data, said the bourse’s chief executive officer Charles Li Xiaojia.

“We will continue to invest more to safeguard and improve” the information and technical infrastructure at the exchange, Li said at a press conference. “We hope the public has the confidence in the robustness of our system.”
