New Zealand s stock exchange (NZX) has admitted its cyber-security wasn t up to scratch when it fell victim to a spate of cyberattacks this year.
The spy agency admitted on Monday it was caught off-guard by the attacks on numerous organisations.
But security experts say that was just the tip of the iceberg of cyber-crime targeting our country and not even our government is immune.
Sam Pickles, one of the country s top cyber attack defenders, says his company RedShield has seen a surge in attacks aimed at Aotearoa. We re seeing around 3000 to 5000 attacks per minute, RedShield co-founder Sam Pickles told Newshub.
