Ilia Kolochenko, head of Swiss information security company High-Tech Bridge, says he’s repeatedly warned Nasdaq.com that hackers could steal users’ browser history or confidential data, but claims the exchange has done nothing to fix the problem. 'It is quite frightening when you think about it,' he says.
One of America's most important stock exchanges is vulnerable to computer hackers who have the potential to gain full access to its website, a leading cybersecurity expert charges.
Nasdaq.com — the website of the Nasdaq exchange — was tipped off by the expert three weeks ago that hackers could steal users’ browser history and cookies or perform phishing attacks to steal confidential data — but the financial market has done nothing to fix the problem, he contends.
