As many of us spend more time working online from home, CERT NZ is reminding us all to stay safe from viruses of another nature, as well as other nasties.
From encouraging fake donations to the World Health Organisation, fake coronavirus maps, phishing emails claiming to have updated COVID-19 information and even text messages offering to direct people to testing facilities, the unscrupulous appear to be out in force.
A government organisation CERT NZ is focused on protecting cyber security for New Zealanders. For detailed information about the latest online scams and how to avoid them, visit cert.govt.nz.
