DDoS Attacks Hit NZ Businesses Too

Big banks go offline. Your site could too. This is true for NZ firms.

The Problem for NZ Firms

DDoS attacks stop your site. Your customers can’t reach you. Your sales drop.

Auckland’s Joe’s Cafe had a DDoS attack last year. It lost all online sales for 3 hours.

What This Means

Your site is like a shop door. Hacks lock it. No sales. No customers.

DDoS is a big word. It means too many fake users. They crash your website.

Key Point: Stop DDoS before it hits. Get help from local experts.
