You and your brokerage - an archive of a real 2004 incident with TDA.
This issue was reported by me personally to TDA management, and the FBI, the issue was not reported on by the WSJ, a message board contact gave me a numeric IP address that enabled me to abandon my portfolio before it was completely wiped out.
This all happened on a Friday afternoon. A DNS attack followed by massive shorting that wiped out millions in retail investment. All TDA had to do was broadcast the numeric address to all of their clients and they could have continued to trade .. but they didn't.
I found a test of this DNS blocking program a couple of months prior to all of was tested on an internet provider in California.
.... and now you know why I don't trust my broker with any data that I don't have to give them - like my Think or Get Sunk ideas.
