National security crisis apparatus gathered for NZX cyber attacks

New Zealand’s top level security apparatus has been gathered to defend against ongoing cyber attacks.

Government officials that make up ODESC (Officials' Committee for Domestic and External Security Coordination) met on Friday to discuss the cyberattacks, which last week crashed the stock exchange NZX’s website and forced it to at times halt trading.

ODESC is headed by government chief executives and is the primary committee of the National Security System, which swings into action during crises that threaten New Zealand’s security, sovereignty or economy. The committee was previously stood up to respond to the Covid-19 pandemic, and convened in the hours after the March 15 terror attack in 2019.

The distributed denial of service (DDoS​) cyber attacks, launched from overseas, have since extended to banks and Metservice.
