The Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul) Wednesday asserted that all its systems and operations are working normally. “Media reports about any hacking of the Tadawul website or any associated degradation of the website performance are incorrect,” a statement issued by Tadawul said. Tadawul said that the exchange website remains accessible and fully operational to users, noting that Tadawul deploys advanced systems and processes to protect the integrity and continuity of its infrastructure. The Tadawul statement comes in the wake of reports that Israeli hackers have claimed that they were able to paralyze the Tadawul website, while causing significant delays to the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) site. Two leading banks in the Kingdom last week confirmed to the Saudi Gazette that credit card details of more than 5,000 Saudi and non-Saudi cardholders were compromised in the latest hacking attack.
