Harpooning the whalers for Les Mills International
Spear phishing and whaling attacks, where social engineering and email spoofing techniques are used to steal money or confidential information from businesses, are increasingly common and pose a significant email cybersecurity threat for New Zealand companies. No business, big or small, is safe. Just ask Les Mills International. Les Mills is a family owned and operated business. Founded in Auckland in 1968 by four-time Olympian Les Mills Snr, today the company employs a core staff of 400 globally (including 150 in New Zealand). Les Mills workouts are licensed by more than 17,500 club and gym partners in 100 countries. With most of its business overseas, Les Mills has adopted a ‘cloud-first’ approach, says Les Mills International General Manager of Technology, Steve James. Nea
