“Technical glitches” shut down New York Stock Exchange; delay half million United Airlines passengers
July 8th, 2015 (InsideCostaRica.com) What corporate officials have so far described only as “technical glitches” have completely halted trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), while a separate “glitch” in United Airlines computer systems grounded all of the air carrier’s flights earlier today, affecting at least half a million passengers.
“The issue we are experiencing is an internal technical issue and is not the result of a cyber breach. We chose to suspend trading on NYSE to avoid problems arising from our technical issue, NYSE wrote on Twitter.
The NYSE suspended all trading just after 11:30 a.m. ET.
Unofficial reports also indicate that a huge swath of Time Warner broadband Internet coverage is down. Time Warner is one of the United States’ largest Internet access providers.
This is a developing story and will be updated as additional information becomes available.
