The Reserve Bank of New Zealand has suffered a data breach after hackers illegally accessed data stored at a third-party hosting provider. The central bank is responsible for creating monetary policy to stabilize prices in the country. The breach has been contained but may have exposed commercially and personally sensitive information. In August, New Zealand suffered a wave of DDoS attacks against private and public organizations, including the New Zealand stock exchange, which had to halt trading after suffering a DDoS attack. The system has been secured and taken offline until we have completed our initial investigations.
