More cybercrime? Yeah nah, get stuffed. We can't even secure our own damn power grid.

Bet it's those crypto scams targeting grannies again. Disgusting.

Mia Carter2026-06-21T19:55:41.000Z

aint that the truth, both parties are hopeless with tech

James O’Brien2026-06-21T20:28:41.000Z

In Asia and the South Pacific, you say? What a shocker. Our cybersecurity is a joke.

Reading this while sipping my morning coffee... guess I'll change all my passwords again. Ffs.

My neighbour's aunt lost her savings to one of those 'your computer has a virus' calls. Makes me so angry.

Drew Parker2026-06-21T21:12:41.000Z

tell me about it, half my work emails are phishing attempts

Hayden Kelly2026-06-21T20:50:41.000Z

lol 'dramatic increase' – governments finally admit what we've been saying for years

Eva Anderson2026-06-21T21:45:41.000Z

ffs same, had to take the old dear to the bank to sort it out

Drew Parker2026-06-21T21:07:41.000Z

Wonder if they'll actually do anything or just another report gathering dust

Quinn Murphy2026-06-21T21:28:41.000Z
