New Zealand Steel workers Linnea Karlsson and Jessica Halim are women working in traditionally male environments.
It s more common than ever to see a woman picking up a belt sander, fire hose or heavy-duty tool.
Stuff reporter Georgia Forrester chats to wāhine who are smashing stereotypes in traditionally male-dominated industries.

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand disclosed Sunday that hackers infiltrated its network after compromising its file-sharing system from Accellion.

Well, apart from the who, why and how of

happened about five months or so after the computer systems
at the New Zealand Stock Exchange and several major
corporates and state agencies were also penetrated. Also by
persons unknown, and for reasons unclear. It would seem that
this country’s cyber systems are coming under periodic
attack by individuals or by foreign governments- or by both
- but we don’t seem to know (or aren’t being told) for
