It's National Cyber Security Awareness Week

This week, 6th to 11th June, is National Cyber Security Awareness Week.

The Week aims to help Australians understand cyber security risks and educate home and small business users on the simple steps they can take to protect their personal and financial information.

This year’s initiative is promoting six simple tips for better online security:

• Install security software and update it regularly
• Turn on automatic updates so that all your software receives the latest fixes
• Get a stronger password and change it at least twice a year
• Stop and think before you click on links or attachments
• Stop and think before you share any personal or financial information about yourself, your friends or family
• Know what your children are doing online, make sure they know how to stay safe and encourage them to report anything suspicious.
