It's raining, I'm bored, what can I do?

Kiwis are being called upon to help piece together more than a century of weather records – including those recorded by members of Captain Robert Scott's doomed trip to the South Pole in 1912.

About 21 per cent of those who encountered a tech support scam were fooled into continuing with an interaction, with 6 per cent suffering financial loss.
