It is sad to report that many Australians have been victims to scams through their computer or mobile device over this year. It accounts for a $70 million financial loss in the first half of this year. People over the age of 65 have lost the most money through investment scams in 2021 and mobile apps and social networking web sites account for 40% of all investment scams.
The reason we are bringing this to your attention is there are many Australians out there who do not have a comprehensive and reputable Internet Security software package on their device. Whether that be a mobile device such as a phone, or a windows computer.
Trend Micro Device Security protects all forms of devices, Windows computers, Apple Mac, tablets, iPads and… Mobile phones! It includes the most basic protections such as Antivirus, but also protects you from malware, ransomware and spyware attacks. It will also identify phishing emails, or dangerous messages on your device, which will take the guessing game out on whether you should press that link. Trend will protect you from pressing a dangerous link and will stop dangerous programs from being installed on your device.

Another great security product is from the trusted brand, Norton. Norton 360 Premium has a unique SMS and android specific features which target this problem directly. Unfortunately, once this app is on your phone it’s a pretty serious problem, so to notify you that its malicious is not enough.
Norton 360 clearly warns the user of the mobile phone that link they are about to press is a malicious site. Even if you press the link, Norton 360, will not allow the software to install on your phone.
Norton 360 is constantly evolving to meet the security needs of users. FluBot is the latest, but there will always be more threats in the future which they will try and combat.
