Stop Data Leaks Like Somalia’s Visa Hack

Auckland firms face data leaks. They must learn fast from Somalia’s mess.

The Problem for NZ Firms

Somalia’s visa site lost user data. Kiwi SMEs face same risks.
Bad code lets hackers steal names, emails, and more.

Joe’s Bookstore used online payments. Hackers took customer emails.
Joe lost trust. Sales dropped. He spent days fixing it.

What This Means

Bad code breaks privacy laws. Kiwis get angry.
Businesses pay fines. They lose customers. They lose money.

Bad code = bad for business. Fix it before it happens.
Sales stop. Fines come. No one wins.

Key Point: Fix code early. Stop leaks before they start.
