    We're all being warned to be alert, after two data breaches affecting tens of thousands of Kiwis

    We're all being warned to be alert, after two data breaches affecting tens of thousands of Kiwis


    The Manage My Health portal is yet to start notifying more than 100-thousand people whose sensitive health information may be affected.

    Community platform Neighbourly's also investigating a hack, with users' private information offered for sale on the dark web.

    Deputy Privacy Commissioner Liz Macpherson says everyone should monitor accounts, and watch for scams.

    She says any time there's a data breach, even people not impacted can find suspicious activity on their phone.
