Summary

An estimated 2.6 million Kiwis (80% of the adult population) say they would cease dealing with an organisation, such as close their account, if they became aware that their personal information had been accessed by unauthorised people. Many would also consider a range of other responses with 48% saying that they would publically expose the issue and 36% saying they would take legal action.
