Increasing number of Aussies fear becoming victim of a cyber attack after COVID-19 Exclusive: Two-thirds of Australians say they are worried about becoming the victim of a cyber attack after spending vastly more time online since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. New findings from McAfee's 2021 Consumer Security Mindset Report found most Australians fear their financial data could be stolen while 65 per cent were concerned their social media accounts could be hacked. The report, which profiled the views of 1000 Australian adults, found older citizens were the most worried about having their banking details hacked, but were also the most disciplined in online hygiene compared to younger Australians.
