From today until 11th June 2010 is National Cyber Security Awareness Week. National Cyber Security Awareness Week is an annual initiative of the Australian Government held in partnership with industry, community and consumer groups and state and territory governments. It is designed to raise awareness among Australians of cyber security risks and simple steps they can take to protect their personal and financial information online. More info here and here.
Australians are being advised to take six simple steps to improve their online security at home and at work:
- 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.
