Test tricks Kiwis into clicking on a link and keying in their passwordStuff.co.nz Research suggests a fifth of New Zealanders have been affected by cybercrime in the last year. Kiwi gullibility has been exposed by a cyber security test devised by consultant KPMG. The email said their employers had signed up to a "password quality checking website" and invited them to click on a link to check the quality of their password. KPMG said 1009 of the staff clicked on the link and 702, or 8.4 per cent, then entered their password details. KPMG carried out the test to coincide with Connect Smart Week, an annual event which is designed to raise awareness of cyber security.
