Chinese Hack Hits NZ Firms – What to Do
Chinese hackers steal visa data. Kiwis need better locks now.
The Problem for NZ Firms
A Chinese group hits foreign office data. Your visa files could be next.
Joe’s Cafe handles visa info. Their files got exposed. Not safe.
What This Means
Visa data holds names, dates, and addresses. Hackers sell this on dark web.
Bad guys steal info. Sell it. Cause chaos. Break trust. Cost money.
Why Kiwis Should Care
Many Kiwi firms help with visas and immigration. Your data is a target.
Foreign office is not safe. Local firms face same risks. Stay alert.

Keep it simple. Use tools we know work. Fix problems before they grow.

- Back Up Data – Save files in safe place. Do it daily.
