🚨 Nearly 1 in 2 Australians were hit by cybercrime in 2025 — and small business owners are one of the highest-risk groups.

A new report from the Australian Institute of Criminology found that 45% of Australian internet users experienced at least one form of cybercrime last year. And while identity theft declined slightly, online scams and fraud are on the rise — up from 9.7% to 11.1% in just one year.

The numbers that stood out to us:
✅ 45.1% of Australians hit by cybercrime in 2025
✅ Nearly 2 in 3 have experienced it at some point in their lives
✅ Most incidents were never reported
✅ SMB owners specifically called out as a high-risk group

The good news? Simple, proactive steps make a real difference — and that's exactly what we're here to help with.

The latest Australian Cybercrime Survey shows overall victimisation has fallen slightly, but online scams continue to rise while most incidents remain unreported.
