The Australian Federal Police (AFP) and National Seniors Australia (NSA) announced it would provide national cyber advice after several cyber-related arrests.

The AFP will use October’s Cyber Awareness Month and Seniors’ Week to advocate the NSA’s new 90-second videos about public cybercrime prevention while providing extra education for those less digitally savvy in the community.
