Throughout this series it highlights the impact cyber crime can have on Australians, from the initial shock to the lasting damage and in each episode we’ve been able to delve into cyber crime stories experienced by Australians and the consequences this has had on their lives. Our goal is to encourage more Australians to be more vigilant online”, added Mark Gorrie.

“As we’ve moved online, every aspect of our lives has become an ‘attack surface’ for hackers who steal our money, our privacy - even our identity. We need to be vigilant. Criminal Domain was a fantastic opportunity to learn how these hackers work - and how we can best protect ourselves from them,” said Co-host of Criminal Domain, Mark Pesce.
