With the holiday break just around the corner, it’s important to refresh your scams prevention knowledge so you know how to help protect yourself during the festive season.

Practical steps you can follow:

✅Create strong passwords
Use different passwords for different accounts and update them regularly to help protect your accounts. A strong password is the first line of defence against unauthorised access to your devices and accounts.

✅Don’t give out your passwords or security codes
We’ll never ask for your online banking password or security code and you should never give them out to anyone or to any organisations.

✅Familiarise yourself with current scams
Visit www.scamwatch.gov.au for the latest information on active scams. Scams are increasing in volume and sophistication every day, so it’s helpful to keep informed with the latest alerts.

✅Pause, process, proceed
Have you been asked to respond to something urgently such as a delivery notification or request for bank details? Were you expecting this call, email or offer? Before actioning, take a second, breathe, and think. Does this feel right? Do your own research from credible sources before actioning.

Scams are on the rise during the holiday season, so increasing your scam prevention knowledge is one of your best defences.
