Stay secure when shopping online

🛒 🛍️ Although online shopping is convenient and the preferred way to shop for many Australians, it comes with a risk….

👀 Cybercriminals often target online shoppers in a bid to steal their money or personal details. They do this through a variety of methods including…

🦹 Selling products that don’t exist
🦹‍♂️ Asking for personal and payment information
🦹‍♀️ Installing malicious software (“malware”) on your device

💳 Once a cybercriminal has your financial details or receives your money, you are unlikely to get it back. Not only will you be disappointed when your goods don’t arrive, you will also have lost the money you used to buy the pretend items 😔

What can you do? 🤷 The best way to stay secure while shopping online is to know how to look for suspicious websites and boost your protective security measures.
