A recent study that said New Zealand was the second-most "hacked"
country in the world has come under fire from computer users.

TippingPoint, a company that sells internet security systems, issued a
study published yesterday in Computerworld which said one in 730 people
in New Zealand had been a victim of a computer "hack attack".

The UK took top place in the widely reported study with one hack for
every 683 people.
