In Sunday's segment on Sky News Australia (Weekend Edition with Tim Gilbert) we warned Black Friday and Cyber Monday bargain hunters that a quarter of Australia’s top online retailers are not doing enough to protect consumers from cyber crime. Black Friday sales begin this week but one wrong link could end up costing you a lot more. Cybersecurity company Proofpoint has found one in four (25%) of Australia’s top 100 online retailers are not taking appropriate measures to protect consumers from potential email fraud and cyber crime.

In Sunday's segment on Sky News Australia (Weekend Edition with Tim Gilbert) we looked at Twitter in the wake of its purchase by billionaire Elon Musk.

Verified Twitter users will have to pay to keep their blue tick badges but many celebrities say they won’t be paying the eight dollar monthly fee and will leave the social network.

In Sunday's segment on Sky News Australia (Weekend Edition with Tim Gilbert) we looked at Norton’s new one-stop solution for online safety. It’s called Norton 360 Advanced. We discuss how it does all the usual stuff; virus, malware, spyware and ransomware protection - but it also does a lot more for just over $250 AUD. There’s a VPN for online privacy, cloud storage (200GB), parental controls, password manager, dark web and social media monitoring.

But what really interested me were the tools to fight identity theft. You not only get a real person to talk to - they will remain your ‘agent’ until the situation is resolved - you get insurance, worth up to $58 000 AUD.
