Australian Cyber Security Centre ‘Have you been hacked?’ tool

The Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) has launched a new tool to help people who believe they are a victim of a cyber-attack called ‘Have you been hacked?’ available at cyber.gov.au.

ACSC also released updated ransomware advice to help individuals and families protect against and respond to ransomware attacks, available at cyber.gov.au/ransomware.

• Ransomware can affect anyone - Protect yourself against ransomware attacks.
• Ransomware remains the most serious cyber threat due to its financial and disruptive impact.
• Ransomware is malicious software that makes data or computer systems unusable until the victim makes a payment, often in the form of hard-to-trace cryptocurrencies.
