Ransomware hits big firms in NZ too

Big firms get hacked. You need to act now too.

The Problem for NZ Firms

Ransomware stops work. Firms pay cash to get going again.

Ingram Micro had a bad day. Its files got locked by bad hackers.

What This Means

Hackers hit big and small firms. No one is safe. Data gets stolen or locked.

Your business could shut down. No files. No sales. No customers.

Key Point: Backups save you. Always have a copy ready.

Why Kiwis Should Care

Small firms get hacked too. Attacks grow fast. Kiwi businesses need to act.

Local firms face real attacks. Hacks stop work. You can’t afford that.

The Fix

Use strong locks. Keep systems updated. Check backups daily.

Don’t wait. Fix now. Small steps stop big losses.

  4. Lock Access – Use strong passwords. Change them every month.

Real NZ Results
