Whilst many Australians are getting ready to go on holidays, cyber criminals are entering one of the busiest times of the year.
Scamwatch has reported a 23% increase in reports of cybercrime with an annual total of 94,000 for 22-23 in Australia1. We commonly see an increase of scams during the high-risk periods especially leading into the holiday season.2 With scams ranging from gift card to charity fraud, to phishing email scams, it’s important to stay vigilant.
