55% of kiwi businesses fall “victim”

I still hate statistics especially when those stats point to something that is so blatantly “not true”! 55% of kiwi businesses fell “victim” to a ransomware attack? 

How about a more accurate statistic (sorry), 100% of Kiwi businesses received a ransomware loaded email…. even one ransomware loaded email per day! both are pointless and yet likely accurate numbers.

Aura Information Security is NOT an independent research org! A small amount of research would have demonstrated this. 

Though I hate statistics, I do like SME business in Australia and New Zealand, do the cyber security basics well and you will be 99% (not another!) safe from cyber attack. The ASD Essential 8 is a great place to start.
