It’s an ideal time for Victorians to educate themselves about protecting their digital identity. Cyber Security Awareness Month follows four national themes, covering the essential steps to digital security.
Victorians are increasingly at risk from cybercriminals wanting to steal their personal information. The Victorian Government is encouraging the community to reduce their cyber risks and protect their personal data by:
- using strong passwords that are long, unique and unpredictable
- turning on multi-factor authentication (MFA)
- turning on automatic software updates
- recognising and reporting phishing scams.
These simple actions can greatly reduce the risk and impact of cyber threats.
The Victorian Government has launched an online cyber safety check to help people understand how cyber secure they are.
