‘No malicious actors involved in NYSE stoppage’
White House spokesman Josh Earnest says President Obama was briefed on the technical problem that has halted trading on the New York Stock exchange by White House counterterrorism and homeland security adviser Lisa Monaco and chief of staff Denis McDonough.
He says Monaco told the president there is no indication that malicious actors are involved.
Earnest said the NYSE has been in close contact with the Department of Homeland Security, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Treasury Department.
He says that despite indications that this was not a cyber breach, “the administration is keenly aware of the risk that exists in cyber space right now.”
