Genoapay Cyber Attack

Copies of thousands of NZ drivers’ licences stolen in Genoapay cyber attack.

Copies of thousands of New Zealand drivers’ licences were stolen in a cyber attack, which targeted a digital payment company, and one victim fears his personal information could end up for sale on the Dark Web.

Genoapay, a digital payments firm that operates in New Zealand, was hit by a cyber attack. The attack involved the theft of customer data and documents, potentially putting thousands of customers at risk. The company is responding to the attack, but some services are currently disrupted and there are extended wait times for customer queries.

It is recommended for customers who have used Genoapay services recently to keep an eye on their bank accounts and to contact their bank if they notice any suspicious activity. It’s also a good idea to change passwords for any accounts associated with Genoapay as a precautionary measure.

It’s always important to be mindful of the security of our personal information and to take appropriate measures to protect it, such as using strong and unique passwords, enabling two-factor authentication when possible, and keeping an eye out for any suspicious activity related to our accounts.
