Reserve Bank response to illegal breach of data system

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand – Te Pūtea Matua continues to respond with urgency to a breach of a third party file sharing service used to share information with external stakeholders.

Governor Adrian Orr says the breach is contained, but it will take time to determine the impact. The analysis of the potentially affected information is being done with pace and care.

"We are actively working with domestic and international cyber security experts and other relevant authorities as part of our investigation. This includes the GCSB's National Cyber Security Centre which has been notified and is providing guidance and advice."

"We have been advised by the third party provider that this wasn't a specific attack on the Reserve Bank, and other users of the file sharing application were also compromised."
