Instagram Password Scams Up in NZ
Kiwi firms get more fake links. Employees click and lose data.
The Problem for NZ Firms
Instagram scammers send reset links. Staff get tricked. Data leaves.

What This Means
Bad links steal passwords. Your business data is at risk.
One wrong click. All your work goes. No way to get it back.
Why Kiwis Should Care
NZ Police sees more reports. Scams hurt small businesses fast.

What To Do Now
