Hey all,

Just got this email from Aquila Technology (tech supplier based in Wellington):

 

We value your business and respect the privacy of your information, which is why as a precautionary measure, we are writing to let you know about a data security incident that may involve your personal information.

 

We recently became aware of a security breach to our website and have been working with a cyber security expert to determine the cause and extent. The data accessed may have included personal information such as personal or credit card information.

 

Aquila Technology values your privacy and deeply regrets that this incident has occurred. We have already taken steps to implement additional security measures designed to prevent a recurrence of such an attack, and to protect the privacy of our valued customers.

 

We are also working closely with our bank and credit card issuers and have notified the Privacy Commissioner to ensure the incident is properly addressed. If by chance your card information has been compromised by this breach, then your bank will be in touch with you directly.

 

As a precaution, we recommend resetting your Aquilatech password using the Forgot Password feature on our website. And doing the same on any other website on which you suspect that you have used the same password.

 

If you are not already in the habit of using a Password Manager you can find out about why you should be using one from this link:  Keep your data safe with a password manager

 

For further information or assistance please contact us during regular business hours or simply reply with your query, and we will respond to you asap.

 

Looks like they're doing what they can as soon as they can (and notifying the Privacy Commissioner) for a small two-people run team, but just an FYI to any past/current customers that may be affected.
