The New Zealand stock exchange was knocked offline two days in a row due to a cyber-attack.
NZX said it had first been hit by a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack from abroad, on Tuesday.
The exchange said the attack had “impacted NZX network connectivity” and it had decided to halt trading in cash markets just before 16:00 local time.
Trading halted briefly for a second time, on Wednesday, but was back up and running before the end of the day.
