'Where's my money?': Parking app down, and would-be parkers want answers
A parking app used by several New Zealand councils has gone offline, with councils scrambling for a quick fix amid social media backlash.
The PayMyPark smartphone app was this week flagged as "experiencing technical issues" in Marlborough, Wellington, Dunedin, Waitaki, Hutt and Tauranga.
The Dunedin City Council said in comments on a Facebook post, which announced the app was unavailable, that someone had attempted to breach the app's website.
"Due to the security systems in place, no personal information or credit card details were accessed. Cyber security specialists were called in and as a security measure, the site and app were taken offline. They are working to get the site and app back online as a high priority."

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
