We imagine hackers in hoodies typing 100km/h to bypass a firewall.In reality? Most business risk comes down to something much simpler … human trust.Modern threats, like Business Email Compromise (BEC), don’t bother trying to smash the digital windows. They just convince someone inside your business to open the front door and hand over the keys.Once an attacker is inside a legitimate account, they don’t ...

It’s the tech equivalent of a VCR, nostalgic, sure, but nobody actually wants to use it to watch Netflix.Well, Chorus has officially decided to pull the plug. They’re accelerating the retirement of parts of the copper network, meaning those old lines are being put out to pasture earlier than expected....

In the past, this was a minor speed bump - you’d simply order a replacement and have it on the desk within 48 hours.However, in 2026, that quick fix is disappearing. If you wait until a device physically fails before ordering a new one, you might find yourself facing a 3-6 week wait for a replacement. This delay causes a massive gap in productivity that is difficult to recover....

But as the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility.The recently released 2026 Kordia New Zealand Business Cyber Security Report has highlighted a growing concern for Kiwi businesses: the rise of 'Shadow AI.' This is the unauthorised use of AI tools by employees who might be trying to work faster, but are accidentally opening the door to cyber criminals....

You click it without thinking. But a new, sophisticated phishing campaign dubbed DEAD#VAX is turning that muscle memory against us.Cybercriminals are now disguising Virtual Hard Disks (VHDs) as ordinary PDF files. If you open the wrong one, you won't see a document at all - instead, Windows quietly runs a hidden drive that installs a backdoor Trojan called AsyncRAT....

It’s also one of the riskiest times for businesses when it comes to IT.Why? Because cybercriminals know offices are empty. Devices go unused for days or weeks. Staff are on holiday. And small issues that go unnoticed can quickly turn into big ones when no one’s around to catch them.Here’s what your business can do over the shutdown period to stay safe and secure....

This criminal enterprise was dedicated to creating and renting out a sophisticated toolkit specifically designed to steal Microsoft 365 credentials.The scale of the operation was vast. Since July 2024, the service was responsible for compromising at least 5,000 victims across 94 countries. The stolen Microsoft 365 login data - including cre...
