NZ: Grieving families’ ‘incredibly stressful’ wait for answers after major NZ cyber attack

A ransomware attack has delayed coronial investigations in New Zealand, with grieving families waiting months for answers about unexplained deaths. One family reported a nine-month wait and described the delay as incredibly stressful.

Why it matters: Healthcare and judicial staff in New Zealand need to resume coronial workflows and communicate timelines to affected families, as delays in death investigations harm both public trust and the bereaved.
