In a matter of minutes, Ash Raso lost access to everything from her email address to her social media accounts and even banking. She is among a growing number of younger Australians falling victim to cybercrime.

    Let’s wait for the crowd of politicians coming over the hill waving draft legislation demanding ID verification, to any and all software providers with no great reputation for being able to protect the data, as if that could prevent this.

        Yeh this looks and reads like a fear campaign.

        Young Aussie just wanted to create a side gig (baby clothing/wedding merch/stickers take ya pick). And was shock horror hacked.

        Don’t let this happen to you instead just hand over all your details to the gov!!!

        As I was typing that I could hear the futurama Nixon voice

        Seriously tho: Not sure how that will actually protect you, and I’m finding it an interesting choice of target audience, usually it’s aimed at older, they throw the young under the bus by insinuating too much coffee/avocado buying. They seem to be tapping the younger audiences, possibly with the no side- gig no house route.
