Singapore Exchange website back up after evening outage

THE Singapore Exchange (SGX) experienced difficulties with its Web services, beginning slightly before the market close on Tuesday evening.

The Business Times managed to access the website again at around 8.40pm, some four hours after the difficulties began.

Asked by BT earlier on Tuesday about whether a cyber attack or malicious cause had been ruled out, its spokesperson had said: "There is no indication that our systems were compromised."
