Big telco data leaks are rising. Kiwi firms must act now.

The Problem for NZ Firms

A telco lost 6.2 million users’ data. This shows big risks for Kiwis. Spark or Vodafone NZ could face the same.

Joe’s Cafe lost customer data last year. They used free software. That let hackers in.

What This Means

Your data is not safe. Hacks cost money and trust. Firms face fines for bad security.

Think of a lock. If it breaks, your home is at risk. Same with your data. Bad locks mean big losses.

Key Point: Kiwis face real risks from telco data leaks. Act now to prevent them.
