Kiwi Firms Must Fix Cyber Holes
Aflac lost data. 20 million people at risk. Kiwis face same threat.
The Problem for NZ Firms
Hackers steal data. Firms lose trust. Fines follow. Kiwis get angry.
Joe’s Cafe got hacked. A worker opened a fake email. All customer data gone.
What This Means
Weak locks let in thieves. Firms get fined. Customers go elsewhere.
Locks on doors stop thieves. Locks in IT stop hackers. Both protect you.
Why Kiwis Should Care
Kiwi firms get hacked. Often by old systems. Or bad email links.
45% of NZ firms face cyber attack. Many don’t know. Fix now or pay later.

Change passwords. Test your locks. Get help if unsure. It’s not hard.
