Data Breach Affects NZ Firms Too

A recent event shows how bad data breaches can be. It hits many NZ businesses too.

Recent data shows big breaches grow fast. Many businesses don’t see the risk.

Auckland firms get hacked more than ever. Joe’s Cafe lost customer info last year.

It’s like a big door left open. Thieves take what they want. No one stops them.

It’s not hard. Make sure your door stays locked. Don’t trust it to luck.
