Privacy Advocates Demand Stronger Fines After Hack
Privacy lawyers and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner are urging a review of New Zealand's penalty regime after the Manage My Health cyberattack exposed about 127,000 patients and prompted a US$60,000 ransom demand ahead of a Friday deadline. Commentators cite gaps versus Australia’s stronger fines, and call for civil penalties and stronger enforcement to increase deterrence and improve data-security investment.
