Public Address broke the story that tens of thousands of documents from MSD servers were publicly available through kiosks at WINZ offices

This story involved me camping out at WINZ offices around Wellington over several days, then another several days going through thousands of documents to determine the scope of the breach. If you liked the story, a donation would be greatly appreciated.

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
