The New York Stock Exchange stock exchange came to a halt on Wednesday morning an "internal technical issue" became overly troublesome.

According to CNBC, at approximately 11 a.m. EST, trading on the NYSE floor stopped, and officials used Twitter to announce the problem was an "internal technical issue."

NYSE officials also tried to reassure the public that it did not appear to be a cyberattack, which speculation abound seemed to indicate to the outside populace. That is due largely because the hacker group known as "Anonymous" posted a tweet of their own before Wednesday morning's incident, subtly stating "Wonder if tomorrow is going to be bad for Wall Street.... we can only hope."

The NYSE's technical issues came hours after United Airlines grounded all global flights. Similar to the NYSE, United said "a network connectivity issue" was the problem and flights resumed late Wednesday morning.

U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson reassured people United's outage and NYSE's disruption was not connected. Johnson said, "I have spoken to the CEO of United myself and it appears that the malfunctions from United and New York Stock Exchange were not the result of any nefarious actor."

According to United, 4,900 flights were impacted.

NYSE and federal officials have widely disseminated that the issues on the trading floor was an isolated technical issue within the organization and there were no signs of malicious outside activity. 

The FBI had released a statement that they would "monitor the situation" but "no further law enforcement action is needed at this time." The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have also said they are in close contact with the NYSE officials and are also monitoring the situation.

"It's not a good day. I don't' feel good for our customers who are having to deal with the fallout," Thomas Farley, president of the NYSE, told CNBC.

Trading resumed on the NYSE floor Wednesday afternoon around 3:10 p.m. EDT.
