Nasdaq OMX: Signs Of Attempts To Block Access To Websites By Jacob Bunge Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES Nasdaq OMX Group Inc. (NDAQ) on Tuesday confirmed attempts by unknown parties to block access to the exchange company's websites, though there were no signs that security was breached. "During the past 24 hours, Nasdaq OMX has experienced intermittent service disruptions on our corporate websites," said a spokesman in a statement. "We are working with our internet service providers to resolve these issues." Stock and derivatives trading systems run by Nasdaq OMX are operated separately from its websites and were unaffected by the efforts aimed at its internet presence. Customers first noticed the outage, which impacted Nasdaq OMX's corporate site as well as its main portal for trader communications, around 10:45 EST. Other customers remained able to access portions of Nasdaq's websites. Websites of major stock market operators like Nasdaq OMX and NYSE Euronext (NYX) have been prior targets of cyberattacks. A year ago Nasdaq OMX confirmed a security breach in a website set up for corporate board members to share sensitive company documents, though officials for the exchange said there were no signs that information was accessed and measures were taken to set up more sophisticated protections. -By Jacob Bunge, Dow Jones Newswires; 312 750 4117; jacob.bunge@dowjones.com (END) Dow Jones Newswires
