What happened to the good ol' days when people just hacked Mark Cuban or Lady GaGa's Twitter to put affiliate links not faking terrorist attacks 
I feel as though saying you got hacked can be such a cop-out. When something like this can cause a big economic dip, there should really be someone responsible. I dunno.
Why terrorism, pisses me off. Little fuckers.
They could easily have said that an alien has escaped from Area 51 or something. Why the negativity and fear mongering shit. Well I hope they get fucked, hard.

Step 1: Short a stock.
Step 2: Hack into a major news site and create a fake article about how the CFO of the company got arrested for falsifying company records to inflate the stock price and to hide that the company is bankrupt
Step 3: Blame the hack on anonymous
Step 4: ???
Step 5: Profit

So what? Sit out back of a starbucks with free WiFi. Use a cheap disposable netbook with a usb bootable copy of BackTrack to do the evil deeds. Throw into ocean afterwards.

Hmm .. even if you got away with the IP address, and got away with anonymous trading (with anonymous offshore account), and everything else...
The stock exchange can still cancel the trades.
It is very rare for them to cancel trades. With what happened the question on whether the trades could be cancelled was not even entertained.
Truth be said, if you connected a "hacker" and a knowledgeable option trader together you can easily walk away with millions of dollars with $50k starter. The right option contracts, with some similar news on the market would be a goldmine.
