If this is accurate (who knows?) a very large cyber-attack is coming from China into the US:

Can you give the website please? I would think that would be a good site to keep your eye on.

My credit union site was down, but it’s back up now. I may just take a trip to the ATM just in case.

Reason #437 why I don’t fly anymore

I just refuse to fly United or American. Horribly run airlines, ticket prices are always the highest, and their service frankly SUCKS.

A technical issue caused the trading halt, Reuters reported, citing a source.

Gee. The same "technical issue" that hit the airline industry today?
Golly! What are the odds? (/s)

Certainly confirms my speculation above that China's the bad actor in all this. Granted, I'd have to go back and look at the trends over the last month from China to see if this is a normal volume of attacks or an uptick.

Reality is we see activity from Chinese hackers literally every day, 24x7. They're constantly probing everything we have. The only question is, is today's volume similar or higher?

We may go back to having more than normal cash on hand.

Once, I got on to our bank site via my new Chrome Browser, everything was fine until I tried to print a copy of the transaction.

I had to reassign my printer to Google Cloud and use my Chromebook to order the printing. It worked and printed out that print order and all the others that failed to be printed out.

My thinking is that with the current loss rate on global stocks that a "breather" was needed by the larger firms. Run new algorithms, lay in new orders, consult with the staff, etc., to get a strategy up and running for when the NYSE comes back online. Basically, anything to minimize the losses and perhaps make some profit along the way.
