Are Aussies Really The Dumb Easy Targets Hackers Say We Are?

Hackers...we've all heard of the many different ways they attempt to steal our money, identity or personal information. Recently a hacker claimed Australians are the easiest targets in the world when it comes to taking our money - and the records aren't proving them wrong.  Australia was scammed out of more than $3 billion last year alone.  In this episode of The Quicky, we look into the ways scammers are singling us out and how we can be smarter than the people infiltrating our finances and personal details on our phones, email, text or even sometimes in person.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?
