The system outage was preceded by issues that occured earlier in the morning.
At 10:37 a.m. NYSE announced due to a technical problem customers may not have received acknowledgements on orders submitted before 9:30 a.m. for 220 symbols. Customers were advised to cancel any orders that they did not receive an acknowledgement for.

At 12:28 p.m. @NYSE posted a three-part tweet explaining the situation.
"The issue we are experiencing is an internal technical issue and is not the result of a cyber breach. We chose to suspend trading on NYSE to avoid problems arising from our technical issue. NYSE-listed securities continue to trade unaffected on other market centers," the tweets said.
