Dark Web Threats for NZ Firms
Your staff log in each day. Their names and passwords get stolen. This happens on the dark web.
The Problem for NZ Firms
Your staff use the same login many times. Hackers find these quickly. They sell them online for cash.
Joe’s Cafe had staff logins stolen. This cost them $5,000 in lost sales. Work stopped for two days.
What This Means
Your customer data gets sold. Bad actors use it to steal more. You lose trust and money fast.
Think of your login like a house key. A thief finds it. They get in. They take your things.
Why Kiwis Should Care
NZ laws say you must protect data. You get fined if you don’t. Kiwi firms pay fines each year.
