Capital & Coast District Health Board

A Capital & Coast DHB staff member has fallen victim to an email phishing scam which took 1000 emails from their address to other email addresses across New Zealand and internationally.

The staff member’s email address was immediately locked down to prevent further emails being sent, and the scam has been blocked by the DHB’s ICT systems.

The organization reported that no private or patient information has been compromised.

It also stated that incident was a case of human rather than system error, and the organization remain confident in the robust security measures and protocols that protect their systems and data.
