Mahony Horner Lawyers in Wellington warned a "cyber incident" may have exposed firm and client data, including client driver's licenses and passports from within the last three years, the NZ Herald reports. The firm said the data would most likely be used for "attempted financial fraud." "At present we remain of the understanding that the information has not been used — however we now believe there is a real risk that it could ultimately be leaked," it said.
