So, just a quick reminder of who CERT NZ are – it’s the official NZ Government Cyber-Security agency.
So, first up – 13% increase in reported incidents on the previous year and a big spike into the last quarter.
- 9% more phishing attacks.
- 24% more malware, based on the “flubot” campaigns.
- But scams and frauds were down 1%
- 15% of incidents resulted in financial loss, costing 16.8%.
- We note that the big event last year was the attack on the health boards.
- What struck me in reading their report was that we’re as vulnerable at home as we are at work : 47% of reporting incidents attacked individuals.
