A 9/11 level cyber attack would be the perfect trigger for a catastrophic stock market crash not seen since 1929. That must be why it's booming right now.
And could the 2016 Dyn cyberattacks be related to this?

Nah, the stock market is up because trump let corporations bring back trillions of dollars @ 4.8 percent tax they had been hoarding offshore because they didn't wanna pay the 15-39 percent they were supposed too (which makes sense if you think those taxes are based off of a resource extraction based economy, not a service economy like we have now). So the stock market is up because real wealth was brought back to the country :) the thing to start watching out for IMO is the car-loan and student-loan bubble, and in another 2-5 years real estate loans.
