Ransomware Hits Nike – What NZ Firms Need to Know

Nike had a data leak. Firms in NZ should learn.

The Problem for NZ Firms

Hackers lock up files. They ask for money. No pay, no work.

Joe’s Cafe lost files. Sales dropped fast. No backup. No work.

What This Means

Hackers hit big brands. No firm is safe. Kiwis face same risk.

Small firms get hit too. Data gets stolen. Business gets hurt.

Key Point: Hackers go after any firm. Big or small.

Why Kiwis Should Care

New Zealand firms face more hacks. This trend grows fast.

Auckland firms get attacked. No warning. No time to react.

Use strong passwords. Change them often. Don’t reuse.

What To Do Now

  1. Backup daily – Save copies of all files. Keep them offline.
  2. Update software – Fix bugs. Close gaps. Stay secure.
  3. Train staff – Teach them to spot fake emails. Train once a month.
  4. Test your backup – Try to restore files. Make sure you can.

Real NZ Results
