NEW YORK: Around half of the world's securities exchanges were the target of cyberattacks last year, according to a paper based on a survey of 46 exchanges released on Tuesday.
The prevalence of attacks along with the interconnected nature of the markets creates the potential for widespread impact, said the joint staff working paper by the International Organization of Securities Commissions' (IOSCO) research department and the World Federation of Exchanges Office.
