NASDAQ Forum Site Was Hacked

Not entirely sure how I managed to miss this one but, it seems that a NASDAQ forum site was hacked. Specifically a community forum site for NASDAQ was in fact compromised on Tuesday of last week.

From Huffington Post:

Cyber-criminals targeted Nasdaq OMX Group’s community forum website and gained access to the email usernames and passwords of the members of the site, which took two days to come back online on Thursday evening.

The New York-based exchange operator said in an emailed letter to users of the forum that no e-commerce or transactions of any kind were taking place on the website. The forum was open to the general public to join.

A spokesperson for NASDAQ would not confirm exactly how many users were affected.
