Stocks Pop-And-Drop After NYPost "Fed Emergency Meeting" Twitter Hack
The NY Post tweeted that "Federal Reserve head Yellen announces bail-in in emergency meeting, rumored negative rate to be set at 4pm EST today," and US equity markets briefly started to rise... followed by a tweet that "The Fed would peg the Dollar to the Swiss Franc" and "Chinese anti-ship missile fired at USS George Washington." Both seemed odd and shortly after, The NY Post had deleted the tweets and explained that it had been hacked...
The same tweets were also seen on the Twitter account of the wire service UPI.
Gotta love these 'efficient' markets.

Those are odd tweets for the average idiot 17 year old hacker to use...
Pop, Drop, and Roll!!!
Or, is that get Rolled?
4pm bank holiday announced?
To thing, entire global equity and FX markets move about based on rumors, speculation, and a shitty ass HP toner cartridge. Funny thing is, people are still in shock when they find out I have ZERO invested in this market. They ALWAYS have the response of, "How can you turn away free money with employer matching?" My response is, "The employer match may be 'free', but that initial investment is still mine and I don't want some money manager's grubby hands on it."
Really
All your Tweets are belong to us...
Somebody set up us the twitter.
Move Zig now for great justice!
+1 for action that follows conviction.
All .gov jobs require direct deposit, and word is that if you bank with Chase or Wells Fargo you get your direct deposit two days earlier than any other bank.
Why would you hack a newspaper like the New York Post, run by Rupert Murdoch, who is just like a hacker? Lies and more lies to protect crooked politicians, sleazy neocons and other degenerate trash.
OMFG it went all the way up from 2000.5 to 2003.0 and then crashed back to 2000.0
Seriously there must more important shit going on
Yeah. Gotta love those zoomed-in charts.
Show me a seven-year chart so I can see what is really going on.
Rest assured, the SEC is on the case...
Stocks ROSE on the first tweet announcing bail-ins?? Holy shit, I think I misunderestimated how fucked up we are right now.
Unless I miss my guess, so did the hackers.
I think the hacker even with this made a lot of money, although even he/she was surprised.
Hacked? They ARE hacks.
But I have no doubt that a bail in is scheduled.
Haha I PRAY they will bail in Americans. I can't wait to hear them try to explain to folks why there is 20% less in their checking accounts than there was yesterday and try to make it out of town before the mobs show up. No way no how they bail in Americans. They don't have to anyway. They can just print.
"Find out just what the people will submit to and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress."
Americans will put up with fuckin anything. You watch.
"There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him."
NoDebt - anything with the word "bail" usually would indicate some sort of loser pays no penalties for being leveraged 100:1 on the Swiss Franc
I still can't figure out how Goldman didn't get to just "undo the trades", as is their S.O.P.
"You put my fucking money to sleep, you go get my money or I'll put you're fucking brain to sleep."

And this is how you screw with the market. Just imagine if the WSJ suffered a headline hack since that's an algo resource......
Federal Reserve got the intel it wanted from its trial balloon, er, "hack" ...
It isn't like either of the two scenarios are that far-fetched, is it...?
No. That's the scary part.
I'm glad my assets are not dependent on Twitter twats.
We hacked some folks!
Ummmmm, note to the FED fags...we are already at negative rates factoring in inflation....fuck tards. WE WERE TOLD IT'S FIXED, WE WERE TOLD YOU WOULD RAISE RATES. #raiseratesnow
"Chinese anti-ship missile fired at USS George Washington." :D
Now that is hilarious.
How's Bullard doing today?
Couldn't find any link to watch the show..
Wall Street got a collective hard-on at the thought of bail-ins.
Great script-kiddie hacks--for an op-ex day :)
Those may be the hacks of MDB...he wanted his government to do something about the Swiss implosion
Whoever did they hacking, they have both some financial insight and a truly hilarious sense of humor. And the markets are the target of the jokes....
Dollars only exist in two places: Saudi Arabia and Canada.
Well, other than within the so called recovery inside the USA.
Peace Out brothers!
What about Australia?
The rats are turning on one another... That's a weird and very intentional way to disrupt prices, at least temporarily.
Now that's some funny shit right there. I wish I could say that i'd done that.
It was Kim Jong Un
I read the NY Post Twitter feed that the FBI has proof Kim ordered the hack
LOVED seeing your conversation with Max Keiser recently. I always pictured you looking a bit different though.
The funniest thing about this is that NOBODY would be able to tell the difference between a hack and the truth!!!
It's all fabricated propaganda 100% all of the time!
Too bad the algos don't scan ZH. This shit show would have been over years ago.
Fed emergency jaw bone meeting!
Damn N.Korea at it again? Or is ISIS trying to unwind some bad positions?
Anybody know when ISIS's FY ends?
still waiting for the squid underwritten ipo on isis
well they gotta bank with somebody.........
Sounds like a caper for Captain Freedom and the White House Brigade
I hacked a big lougie today
'Twitter emergency Fed meeting hack'....I smell 'cheap easy way to pump markets'.
None of this has to do with El Presidente's big push for more internet restriction...er.... I mean cyber-security push at all. The timing is purely coincidental.
Just may not be a hack. It is Friday. But then again, meeting would be "secret" of course.
"Federal Reserve head Yellen announces bail-in in emergency meeting, rumored negative rate to be set at 4pm EST today"...
Y-Y-Y-Yepper!!!!
God Bless you SNB!!!!
why anyone would even bother hacking the least reputable paper known to man, is beyond me.
why anyone would even bother hacking the least reputable paper(s) The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Chicago Tribune and the L.A. Times known to man, is beyond me.
Fixed it!
BREAKING: the Fed is a criminal cabal and lying sacks of no credibility shits. They FIXED nothing but caused everything!
UPI still up:
https://mobile.twitter.com/UPI
How much more evidence is needed to show, there are no more 'markets'?
Evidence?
EVUHDUNCE??
That's terr'st talk.
I think if I remember the little about Eboma's speech today is that him and Cameroon were talking about attacking Iran.
FEDs probably discussing the very latest time at which to enter their bunkers
Smoke screen for real FED meeting.
What's the average rate of a devaluation? 10 to 1?
This was not a hack in my opinion...seems more like a way for testing rumors and initial reaction for when they may decide to may something a reality.
Exactly, everything is a test run.
Massachusetts was an Obamacare test run State and Romney is TPTB little play thing.
Who the hell read the NY Post, anyway ?
SHOCK!!!! HORROR!!! FED TELLS THE MOTHER FUCKING TRUTH!!!!
Sorry folks, us folks here at the fed for one hundred years have been in total control, but now as things are falling apart we have to let you know everything you ever knew was a lie, a falsification of the history you were not just taught, but expected to believe in.
Now the shits getting serious you have to be conscripted to go fight the Arabs, take your mind off the fucking theft like. So we can continue un-molested by your pitchforks, shame about the kids though eh?
It used to work a long time ago my ZH friends didnt it? Not now, not thanks to what I'm typing on.
There is a reckoning coming my friends. Its coming closer by the day.
;-)
PROPAGANDA NETWORK LOSES RADIO CONTACT WITH TRIAL BALLOON, US NAVY SHIP REPORTS HEARING PINGING FROM BLACK BOX IN DEEPEST PART OF THE MONETARY OCEAN. BAD WEATHER OVER SEA OF LIQUIDTY HAMPERS RESCUE OPERATIONS. SEVERAL MEMBERS OF FOMC REPORTED ON BOARD. OBAMA APPOINTS HIS OWN DAUGHTER TO INTERIM FED CHAIR. CONGRESS APPROVES NARROWLY.
Jeezus, looks like TPTB are really losing their grip on the macro controls and information conduits.
The status quo power structure is not looking very resilient or coordinated right now...
Be prepared for some wicked volatility...
Fed announces at 4 pm that they were caught on the wrong side of the Franc trade! The Swiss take the US to the woodshed.
Lesson here: When you hack'm don't blast'm. Think of the money that could have been made here, SERIOUS money. You take your position, the put out a "reasonable" tweet like "Yellen says dollar rise against the Euro is XXXX". BAM, close the trade. Couple hours later, again. Goes to show you that all hackers ain't that smart!
Hack Everything!
The Fed hacks the markets all the time with QE. Plus... if it ain't in the NY Post, it ain't true.

Stop peeing on the Grand Chessboard, hackers. The plan resumes unabated yet a bit more sticky and stinky.
Onward sheeple soldiers, marching on to war...
Mainstream media IS a hack... on reality.
