New Zealand’s communications security bureau has been called in to help after its stock exchange was hit by cyber attacks for the fourth consecutive day.
The exchange failed to open as planned on Friday due to so-called “distributed denial of service” (DDoS) attacks.
The $135bn (£102bn) market, which is nearing a record high, has said the attacks came from overseas.
The exchange’s website was overwhelmed by the cyber attacks, forcing it to halt trading.
