Further important update to all Neighbourly members
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.

😁 AUCKLAND INTERNATIONAL BUSKERS FESTIVAL. CBD. Auckland Anniversary Long Weekend Friday 23 January - Monday 26 January 2026
Get ready for four epic days of street magic, laughs, and jaw-dropping talent!
Auckland’s International Buskers Festival is back from Friday 23 – Monday 26 January, taking over the Waterfront and CBD with non-stop entertainment and good vibes.
From 12pm–7pm daily (Friday 12pm–3pm), the city will be buzzing with incredible acts — think mind-blowing ball tricks, laugh-out-loud comedy, wild circus skills, and even next-level Double Dutch skipping and dance from Britain’s Got Talent Golden Buzzer winners Haribow.
Find buskers popping up all around Auckland’s Waterfront Harbour and the CBD — grab some mates, hit the streets, and get ready to be amazed!
Remember, street performers make their living on your generosity. If you enjoy a show and can afford it, please put a donation in the hat. Loose change is nice but to really make a difference, paper money would be much appreciated.
