An overseas computer hacker has managed to wipe out nearly 100 New Zealand
websites.

Some of the customers, who are mostly with the service provider ihug, are
having to re-build their websites at a cost of thousands of dollars.

Kathryn Fisher, who sells her sunbeds on the internet, is one of an
estimated 200,000 website owners who have suffered the same fate around the
world thanks to a notorious Turkish hacker called Iskorpitz.

"On Monday morning I had been informed by clients that my website had been
hacked," Fisher says.

The demolition tally on New Zealand websites is growing.
