Website need to improve safety from being attacked
Written by James dong
Brokers complained that the Hong Kong stock exchange (HKEx) disclosure website needs technical support to improve the safety of the website since the website was hacked on last Wednesday.
Many brokers urged the person in charge to look into the issue, when all the brokers can not access the disclosure website on which listed companies' filings and financial results were published.
Seven Hong Kong-listed stocks and one bond were suspended from trading at that moment.
HKEx claimed that other systems were not attacked or affected, so other stocks and derivatives trading can be operated normally.
HKEx CEO Charles Li said it was not clear and the motivation or the purpose of the attack was still under investigation.
HKEx CEO Charles Li also said the hacker still attacked the website system in the following two days, Thursday and Friday, but the system fended off the attack.
A temporary backup website was launched to release related information or news when the accident happened.
It raised high alert and alarm for website safety control for all the companies to protect their company websites, business websites or e-business website security.
IBUonline is an innovative B2B e-business website; it has paid attention to website security issues.
IBUonline has prepared well to handle hacking attacks from other sources in order to protect all the registered members’ information safety and then the website could operate normally.
