The NBN co warns scammers are trying to mislead people by informing them their service will be disconnected should they not provide a ‘technician’ online access to their computer.
Security concerns have become heightened as more Australians work-from-home amid the COVID19 pandemic, many on company laptops/PCs.
It joins a variety of other phishing emails and online attempts.
“With scammers increasing their efforts to use COVID-19 to steal people’s personal or financial details, we are starting to see the emergence [of] nbn related COVID-19 scams, so we are working with agencies like Scamwatch to continue to monitor the situation and alert the community,” states NBN Co Chief Security Officer, Darren Kane.
“We want to remind everyone to never give an unsolicited caller remote access to your computer or devices via the installation of programs such as Team Viewer or share any financial information or personal details with someone they don’t know.”
Mr Kane has urged Australian businesses and staff to not get complacence with the security of their work devices and documents despite the complacency which can emerge from working-from-home.

“It is important to not click on the links or attachments in suspicious emails and never respond to unsolicited messages.,” Kane adds.
“This is even more important for all of us that are working from home, as scammers are on the hunt for ways to get access and disrupt home and corporate networks.”
The NBN Co is advising Australians to not leave their work laptop or devices unattended or in ‘unsecured areas’, and prevent family members from using them for personal use. The agency warns it runs the risk of work devices being accidentally inflected.
Australians are also being advised to heighten their home network security, and change the default administrators password on their home router.
Further information on how Australians can protect against online scammers during coronavirus is available on the NBN Co’s website here.

]]>The information has reportedly been used for targeted advertising, seeking clients for personal injury claims. The news has brought strong condemnation from Electronic Frontiers Australia and other groups with an interest in privacy issues, who fear HealthEngine may also have a data sharing arrangement with the Government’s MyHR medical records system.
According to the ABC, the Slater and Gordon “referral partnership pilot” saw HealthEngine give the law firm details of around 200 clients a month between March and August last year.
The broadcaster said that 40 HealthEngine users ultimately became Slater and Gordon clients – though it’s not known if they have won their cases.
HealthEngine is reportedly part-funded by Telstra and Seven West Media.
The company maintains that it only passed on the details of users who had consented to their information being shared with “a third party”.
“Consent to these referrals is not hidden in our policies but obtained through a simple pop-up form during the booking process or provided verbally to a HealthEngine consultant,” HealthEngine has stated.
It added: “We do not provide any personal information for the purposes of a referral without this consent.”
Nonetheless the news of HealthEngine’s actions have brought strong denunciation by Electronic Frontiers Australia and others, who noted that the ABC report said that HealthEngine also has a data-sharing arrangement with the Federal Government’s My Health Record (MyHR) digital media record system.
“The precise nature of this data-sharing arrangement must be made public immediately,” said EFA last night.
“The Government is making MyHR mandatory, except for a short once-only opt-out period, and the public must know what our heath data is going to be used for if we are to have confidence in this system.”
Added Kat Lane, vice chair of the Australian Privacy Foundation: “Data on the Government’s MyHR can be downloaded to a GP system and is then freely available – no controls, no audit trail – including potentially to apps such as HealthEngine.”
