No one is 100% immune to being scammed and, for businesses, one simple mistake can cost dearly.
Nigel Latta returns to NZ's screens with You've Been Scammed, a deep dive on the business of scams in Aotearoa and offers some top tips for who to be wary of, and how to avoid becoming a victim.
The tech news we cover includes: Should the government build a sovereign cloud for AI, the impending end of 3G mobile networks, and Twitter v Threads (because we can't help ourselves).
