CERT NZ has been integrated with The NCSC and will no longer be posting under this channel. Report incidents at ncsc.govt.nz/report. Own Your Online continues to be our channel for individuals and SMEs looking for online security advice.

@nzsouthernman Hi Dael - The NCSC does not plan to use X at this time. If you'd prefer to subscribe to our mailing lists - you can do so here: ncsc.govt.nz/who-we-are/?su…

@CERTNZ Is the NCSC going to be posting on X? Would rather not use LinkedIn unless forced to.
