A major data breach involving the Teammate App has potentially exposed the personal and medical information of thousands of individuals, cybersecurity researcher JayeLTee claims.
The incident was reported today on X by @HopeRising19.
The app, which marketed itself as having “impossible-to-hack” protection, was found by JayeLTee to have left an unprotected database accessible online for over two months, containing 2.9 million records—around 3.8GB of sensitive data. The leaked files reportedly include drivers’ licenses, workplace safety checklists, customer complaints, and even medical recommendations linked to 23,279 employees.
JayeLTee discovered the exposed database in February 2025 and attempted to alert Teammate, but the company did not initially respond. Within an hour of being contacted, the vulnerable server was shut down. However, follow-up inquiries about notifying affected users and regulators were met with vague responses from the company, raising concerns about transparency. There has been no public announcement from the Privacy Commissioner regarding the breach, despite New Zealand’s legal expectation that agencies report such incidents within 72 hours.
The exposed email domains include major New Zealand medical laboratories such as Awanui Labs, Labtests NZ, SC Labs, and Medlab South, raising alarms about the potential compromise of medical records.
While the full extent of the breach’s impact remains unclear, affected individuals are urged to monitor their personal data.
Further information on the incident is available on JayeLTee’s Substack.

Not only inept but can’t even follow their own guidelines, regarding reporting.
Another reason not to have a gun registry, it would only be a matter of time before there was a leak, probably to the gangs.
incompetence everywhere.
Bring DOGE over to sort this mess out.
Exactly, and Nicole McKee has been made aware of this!!!!
If we’re ever invaded from the ‘forces up north’, the first thing that they will do is to go after the Firearms Registry and confiscate the lists.
But… this government and successive governments have NOT realised the dangers of stripping the public of Firearms, and adding the Firearms Registry and Firearms Licences.
What we need is Armed Neutrality for New Zealand, and Winston Peters, Nicole McGee and Christopher Luxon have been made aware of this!
They are also aware of the U.N. Right to Self-Defence under Chapter 7 Article 51 which New Zealand signed on to years ago, but ignores the same and tries to invalidate the treaty agreement via local national laws.

Why is this happening are our leaders incompetent or is there something else going on?
An other reason not to use any APP
Those clowns claimed their app was “impossible to hack”, but the first and golden rule of cybersecurity is Zero Trust, namely “everything is hackable”. 🤡🤡
OMG why hasn’t our trusted media reported this? Who are the clowns running this show?

Not like whistle-blower Barry Young who had de-identified data records and reported limited data such as vaxx status & batch number, age and location.
I wonder if those responsible for this data breach will be persecuted by the govt like Young as been.
