Big Brand Hacked, Kiwis at Risk
A big brand lost data. Millions hit. Kiwis face same danger.
The Problem for NZ Firms
Hackers steal data. Firms lose trust. Sales drop fast.
Joe’s Cafe had a leak. Bad guys got names and emails. No one saw it.
What This Means
Hackers want your data. They use it for fraud. You lose customers.
Bad news travels fast. Your name gets hurt. Sales fall. Money drops.
Why Kiwis Should Care
