"Each year, as the festive season arrives, we must also keep an eye out for
potential scammers trying to ruin the fun. This is because scammers become more
active during the holidays, targeting us while we have our guard down.
So far in 2022, Australians have lost around half a billion dollars to scams,
which is already significantly more than had been lost by this time last year.
The majority of these losses – around $300 million – have involved investment
or cryptocurrency scams.
Researchers from Deakin University’s Centre for Cyber Security Research and
Innovation had a opportunity to interview recent victims of these scams. Here
is what we found."
