Unfortunately, a Kiwi IT service company seems to have been hit by a cyberattack.  This story linked below broke on the NZ Herald web site last night.  The story mentions Lantech being Auckland-based, though their offices are listed on their web site as being in the lower half of the North Island.  The story also suggests the attack has impacted their vOffice hosting environment, which likely only impacts a small percentage of their clients.

I don't know if anyone on the Lantech team frequents Geekzone, but if you do please let your management team know I'm volunteering our Auckland-based team to help.  Ring our office number 09 950 4221 which is answered 24/7.  We could have a couple of guys work Level 1 tickets and let your team focus on recovery or similar.  No strings.  No cost.  I've left voicemail on your landline but as you may be head down this may not be discovered until next week.

I love how these sorts of events bring the industry closer together rather than driving us apart.

As a ex employee, this is a company with good engineers but a history of mis management. vOffice should have been gone a long time ago - a system built on sand. It's great to see another vendor wanting to step in and help out and I'll tell you what the senior administrators would have been working night and day with minimal sleep to get their customers back online. I don't have much details as I'm now on the outside but sad to this situation unfold.
