Fraud Fortnight continues...

As a part of the Australasian Consumer Fraud Taskforce Campaign, AusCERT has updated a set of Powerpoint slides.

These slides are general advice on how to mitigate the risk of being a victim of fraud, identity theft and malicious code.

The slides can be found on our website here:

Please feel free to give feedback on these slides.

And in an email we received from ACCC:

The ACCC has just released a brand new edition of its very popular The little black book of scams.

The little black book of scams highlights a variety of popular scams that regularly target Australian consumers and small business in areas such as fake lotteries, internet shopping, mobile phones, online banking, employment and investment opportunities. It also offers consumers tips on how to protect themselves from scams, what they can do to minimise damage if they do get scammed and how they can report a scam.

You can ring the ACCC's Infocentre on 1300 302 502 to request your free copy of The little black book of scams or you can download it here from the ACCC website.

AusCERT Bulletin Filtering

We've written a small "How-to" article on ways to manage the bulletins we publish. We would love some feedback on this. Furthermore, if you have your own way managing, prioritising and handling our bulletins we'd love to hear from you also.
