Seems a bit suss? Keep reporting it to us! (On our new NCSC website)
CERT NZ and NCSC have joined together and have a new website, where all online security incidents can be reported.
With CERT NZ and The National Cyber Security Centre coming together, we’ve moved our online reporting tool to the new NCSC website. If you had previously saved the link to the tool on the CERT NZ website, please update your link to: https://www.ncsc.govt.nz/report/business-and-individuals/(external link)
You can continue to find the reporting tool through the ‘get help now’ section (at the top of this page) on our Own Your Online website, however this will now send you direct to the reporting tool on the NCSC website reporting page, instead of the CERT NZ website.
Why should you report?
Reporting an incident can help not only you, but others as well.
When you report an online security issue, we can help identify what’s happening and what the next steps are to resolve it.
Often people know something has gone wrong with their computer or device but are unsure exactly what. We can help you identify the problem, so you know what you are dealing with.
Our team of responders are there to stop the incident from getting worse and can give you advice to stop the damage. This could include switching off your device, changing passwords or contacting your bank urgently.
Importantly, your report gives us more information about the threat landscape, which can help us issue alerts to help others watch out for the same attack affecting them.
In some cases, we can work with other agencies to remove the threat, for example by getting dodgy websites taken down.
