PNG & Pacific Under Cyber Attack | Special Edition
Cyber criminals are now targeting Papua New Guinea and the Pacific region with increasing frequency — and many businesses still think they’re too small, too remote, or too unknown to become a target.
In this special edition of the Don't Be A Sitting Duck Podcast, Leigh Kefford breaks down two recent ransomware incidents linked to Papua New Guinea and Fiji, including the alleged targeting of PNG’s Magisterial Services by “The Gentlemen” ransomware group and the Qilin ransomware attack against Pacific Building Solutions in Fiji.
This episode explores why Pacific nations are becoming attractive targets for organised cybercrime, how modern ransomware groups operate, and what businesses across PNG, Fiji, Townsville, Cairns, and the broader Pacific need to do now to strengthen cyber resilience before they become the next headline.

A Phishing Email Exposed 5.5M Records — Are You Next?
One phishing email. That’s all it took to expose over 5.5 million customer records.
In this episode, we break down how hackers gained access to ADT’s systems—not through advanced hacking, but by targeting a person. We also dive into the growing wave of ransomware attacks hitting major brands like Zara, Carnival, and 7-Eleven, where attackers don’t just lock your data—they threaten to leak it.
Here’s the reality: if it can happen to global companies with massive security budgets, it can happen to any business.
More importantly, we unpack what this means for your business—and what you need to do right now to reduce your risk.
