Nearly Half of Aussies Fell Victim to Cybercrime Last Year

Almost one in two Australian internet users experienced some form of cybercrime in the past 12 months, according to the latest Cybercrime in Australia: 2024 report from the Australian Institute of Criminology. The numbers are alarming — 47% of respondents reported being targeted, yet only around a quarter said they regularly updated their passwords.
