I was just wondering what do you guys think would happen if somebody used advanced digital forensics knowledge to put a rootkit into the NYSE encrypting all the data into a AES-256bit crypto locker and delting the encrytion key. How would it effect the economy?
there would be a temporary drop in stock prices across the board, followed by business as usual

They likely have that shit on some gigantic ancient tape drives locked away in a bunker somewhere.

Bruh do you even Mr. Robot?
NYSE is backed up like for times daily. You're literally talking about it being down for a lunch break at worst.
A bunch of margin traders might get fucked, but there will be no major negative effects

Or just set the stock exchange computer to not show hidden files and make the stock exchange a hidden file.
It's brilliant.
Everything is in the cloud bro
