Hackers don’t want to crash stock exchanges. They want to make money on them.

ARTICLE EXCERPT:

Anonymous was quick to deny culpability, anyway, blaming (maybe predictably) Russian hackers using a so-called “zero day exploit” stolen from The Hacking Team, whose files were recently posted online. Russian cyber-criminals would love to hack the NYSE and have almost certainly tried. But they want to manipulate the market, not crash it. If they succeed, they’ll be fleecing traders, not keeping them from buying and selling stocks.
