Security expert breaches NASDAQ exchange's website in just 10 minutes
A cybersecurity executive breached the NASDAQ website in only 10 minutes.
By using any combination of browser history, cookies or phishing attacks, hackers can easily take over the exchange’s website, said a security expert who claims hackers can control the site using basic tools.
Ilia Kolochenko, CEO of High-Bridge Tech, a Switzerland-based technology security firm, detailed to the New York Daily News how he notified NASDAQ of the vulnerability multiple times only to be ignored. A good hacker can get full access to Nasdaq.com in a couple of days with the ability to do almost whatever he wants, such as push an announcement that Facebook shares have dropped 90% [which] could cause havoc on the stock exchange,’ Mr Kolochenko told the Daily News.
