UK Hack Shows NZ Firms Need Stronger Security
UK government was hacked. NZ businesses are next.
The Problem for NZ Firms
Hackers hit big groups. Smaller firms are next.
Mel’s Bakery in Auckland had a hack. Data went missing.
What This Means
Hackers aim for all firms. No size is safe.
Hacks cost time and money. No firm wants this.
Key Point: Hacks hurt sales. They break trust.
Why Kiwis Should Care
NZ laws say we must keep data safe. Fines are high if we fail.
2024 saw more hacks in NZ. Firms paid more to fix.
