Simple Security for Everyone.

🦷

Password Hygiene

Think of passwords like toothbrushes: don't share them, and change them if they get "dirty". Use long phrases that are easy for you to remember but hard for computers to guess.

🎣

Phishing (Fake Emails)

If an email or text creates "panic" or asks for money urgently, stop. Real banks won't ask for your password via text. If in doubt, call the company directly on their official number.

🔐

Double Your Defense

Turn on Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) wherever possible. It's like having a deadbolt on your door—even if a thief has your key, they still can't get in without that second code.

📱

Simple Security

Those "Software Update" pop-ups on your phone and PC are digital locks. When you see one, install it—it fixes the holes that hackers use to get in. Don't forget to check for updates for your home router too!

🕵️‍♂️

Check Your Status

Has your email been leaked? Visit HaveIBeenPwned.com, Oathnet.org, Pentester.com and BreachView.xyz to check if your data has been part of a breach and visit IDCare.org to get expert Australian help if it has.

🤖

AI & Voice Scams

AI can now mimic voices of loved ones or bosses. If you get a strange request for money, use a "safe word" with your family or call them back on a known number to verify.

🌐

Private Browsing

Switch to a browser that respects your privacy. Options like Brave, Mullvad, or LibreWolf block trackers and ads that follow you around the web. Alternatively, you could use Firefox with uBlock Origin Extension.

🧠

Password Managers

Stop trying to remember dozens of complex passwords. A Password Manager securely stores all your logins and creates strong, unique passwords for every site you visit automatically. Try KeePassXC (based on KeePass) or 1Password as these are excellent Password Managers.

🔑

Physical Security Keys

For the ultimate protection, use a physical key like a YubiKey, TrustKey, NitroKey or SoloKey. It’s a small device you plug in that proves it's really you—hackers can't copy it. (Even if you accidentally provide Cybercriminals your username and password via a phishing site, they still can't log in as you - because they WON'T have this physical device).
