摘要

This is a story about cyber security and its effect on traders. It's about vulnerabilities in a financial system that over-relies on technology to make trading faster and more efficient.

For brokerages, investment firms and exchanges, cyber security has become one of the most important concerns of the 21 st century. The July software glitch at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) immediately reminded traders of the 2010 event in which Russian hackers placed a "cyber bomb" on the Nasdaq.
