Scam Watch Every Monday we help you spot the latest scams targeting Australians. Medicare and Centrelink Data Breach Follow-upsAfter genuine data breaches make headlines, scammers jump on the opportunity by sending emails or texts claiming to be from Medicare, Centrelink, or myGov, asking you to 'verify' or 'secure' your details by clicking a link. These phishing attempts steal your login credentials and personal information, giving criminals access to your government accounts and identity documents. How to protect yourself: ✓ Government agencies will never send links asking you to log in or verify details - always type myGov.gov.au directly into your browser ✓ Enable two-factor authentication on your myGov account through the security settings - this adds crucial protection even if your password is compromised ✓ If you've clicked a suspicious link or provided details, immediately change your passwords and contact Services Australia on 132 307, then report it to IDCARE (1800 595 160) for free identity theft support |
