The cyber attack on Waikato DHB is probably the most significant attack that we ve had in New Zealand on any organisation , according to the Ministry of Health s Deputy Director-General of Data and Digital Shayne Hunter.
Hunter says malware attacks are increasing and no organisation is immune. Cyber criminals are criminals, they re very creative and they will continue to look for ways to find access to data. It s a game of cat and mouse, to be frank, so everything we do is an attempt to stay ahead of them.
