New IPC Privacy Fact Sheet – Protect Against Phishing

If you have an email account you most likely receive some unsolicited emails known as spam. Some of these messages are actually phishing attempts where the goal is to get the recipient to do something that compromises the security of their personal information.

The consequences of a data breach can be substantial so the Information and Privacy Commissioner has developed a new fact sheet called Protect Against Phishing.
