Did you know Castor Bay used to be called Castor Oil Bay?

Dave B from MONARCH DESIGN Web Design and Development

... Also Mairangi Bay used to be called little Murray's Bay before changing. Mairangi is Maori for “a gift from Heaven”...

So there's some local trivia for you :)

I'm reaching out as I'm fresh back from overseas and busy setting up a new business here and thought to reach out to local individuals / businesses to see if there might be some opportunities to work together on any website design / development or graphic design projects you might need some input in.

I'm a Creative designer / front end web developer with marketing and SEO thrown in for good measure. I have 12 years experience and am focused on result driven solutions that will make you look good and help to grow your business.

Get in touch if you have something in mind and have a question or keen for a chat about how we can work together on your idea / project / business.

Cheers,

Dave B

Further important update to all Neighbourly members

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Dear Neighbours,

We wanted to update you with what we have uncovered in regards to the potential Neighbourly data breach which we were alerted to on Thursday January 1.

Over the past few days we have worked to understand whether our members’ data had been accessed without authorisation and, if so, the extent of the breach.

We have now confirmed that there was a breach of some data from our registered users. We are now satisfied that the breach was quickly contained, and we have restored the Neighbourly site and services.

Our investigations have shown that there was unauthorised access of Neighbourly data, which included our registered members’ names, email addresses, GPS coordinates, forum posts and member communications. It did not include passwords but some publicly advertised event and business addresses were included.

Following best practice, we will look to seek a court injunction against any use of the material.

We want to apologise to our members for this occurrence and any concerns it may have caused you over the past few days. We have, of course, addressed the issue that allowed the theft to occur, and we are satisfied that the site is secure for use by all of our members. We will work closely with all our staff to ensure we have the most robust processes in place to prevent it from happening again.

Thank you to our members who contacted us over this period and for the understanding you have shown as we work through the complex issues associated with cyber theft.
