Waikato DHB Hack

The State demands personal information from us from contact information to where we live to who we are related to to when when got sick and how we got sick…

“As the crippled Waikato District Health Board scrambles to resurrect its hacked IT systems, there is little clarity about how damaging the cyberattack was – or could yet become…. Stuff has decided not to report the details, and has referred the matter on to police investigating the hack.” – Waikato DHB scrambles to contain cyber attack, safety of patient data unclear, Stuff (25 May 2021)

Radio NZ reporting on tonight’s news that the hackers have been doing a sort of ‘proof of life’ to show they have New Zealander’s private information hostage. Probably spilling information about Waikato politicians such as mayors and government officials but the media are trying to keep a lid on it.

Without the government who will keep our private information safe?
