BEWARE OF AUSSIE PHISHING SCAMS IMPERSONATE AFP, TELSTRA, ATO, SPOTIFY, GOVIA

A spate of phishing scams hijacking brands such as Telstra, Spotify, Energy Australia and GoVia and government agencies including the Australian Federal Police (AFP) and the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) have swamped Australian inboxes during the past week.
During the past few days a number of small to large phishing scams have been picked up and blocked by email filtering firm, MailGuard.

Fake financial notices impersonating Telstra, the ATO and Queensland toll road payments provider, GoVia, were doing the rounds since Wednesday 13 September.The fake emails had a link to access a bill, and were written in plain text without any logos or anything that actually resembles correspondence from the well noted government agencies and telco giants.

Dos and don’ts

  • Do not respond to any message claiming to be from AFP, Telstra, ATO, Spotify and GoVia.
  • Do keep anti-virus software up to date.
  • Do not click any links on a suspicious email.
  • Do not give any sensitive information through email

WHY IS WINDOWS CRITICAL PATCHING IMPORTANT

At Majestic, we perform windows critical and security patching on every server and workstation that are under MAjestic Service Level Agreement (SLA) during each maintenance cycle. Microsoft releases security patches for windows operating systems every month which are popularly known as “Patch Tuesday”. These updates patch security vulnerabilities that could allow a system to become compromised. Security updates are classified as critical, important and moderate.

Critical security patches are perhaps the most important updates to apply to your system. Ignoring these could leave your computer or server extremely vulnerable to hackers and malicious code.

  • Critical patches prevent problems. Not only do they fix known bugs in the operating system, but they also plug the critical security holes that could drastically affect your security
  • Potential causes of not installing critical updates are damaged software, loss of data or even identity theft.
  • Every year malware causes damage of millions of dollars worldwide with the main reason attributed to uninstalled critical security patches
  • Another main advantage of installing critical patches sometimes comes with new features while fixing known issues.
  • Consistent patching and maintenance services leads to higher level of security and compliance.
Majestic Computer Technology’s Service Level Agreement includes all the above work, giving you a sense of security and ensure that you are in safe hands.
If you would like to know more, please feel free to contact Majestic Computer Technology at any time. We are here to help.
