8:12 Insight Cyberwarfare and New Zealand

This is the age of cyberwarfare. Nations are striking one another with digital weapons, corporations hack competitors for secrets while criminals steal data and hold it for ransom. The GCSB says the number of reported cyber attacks is rising by 60 percent each year as technology makes it easier and cheaper to launch attacks – while the cost of defence keeps growing. Authorities say New Zealand is well defended with the likes of Project CORTEX screening critical computer systems. But security experts say a lack of funding and lax attitudes towards IT security have left government networks vulnerable to attack. Radio New Zealand journalist William Ray examines global trends in cyberwarfare and what they mean for the people and government of New Zealand.

10.06 Luz Savinon – Mexican Protests

Tens of thousands of Mexicans took to the streets earlier this week in anti-Government protests sparked by the disappearance of 43 students. Mexican authorities claim local police handed the students to a drug gang which then murdered them. But some families question that explanation and hold out hope the students are still alive. Analysts are claiming the current wave of protests is the most significant challenge President Enrique Pena Nieto has experienced in his two years in office. Documentary filmmaker Luz Savinon joins us from Mexico City to talk about the ongoing protests.
