Have you ever lost your wallet? Had a burglar snoop around your home? Experienced the theft of your passport? Did you ever click on a phishing email? All these unfortunate events could lead to your identity being misused. Over one million people in Australia and New Zealand suffer information theft each year. The scary thought is, it doesn’t necessarily happen immediately, your personal information may be used fraudulently years after falling into the wrong hands.
Dr. David Lacey, Managing Director of iDcare and Senior Research Fellow at the University of the Sunshine Coast, will speak about iDcare and how it can give personalised support to individuals concerned about their personal information.
During the lecture Dr. Lacey will share some insights about identity theft such as the misuse of personal information; the average amount involved per identity theft case; the average time taken to detect a compromise; and that cold-calling scams, the physical theft of documents, and email hacking are the top three methods used by criminals to obtain personal information.
This one-and-a-half hour presentation will begin at 11am on Sunday, February 22 and will provide educational and up-to-date content suitable for all audiences.
The Museum opens its doors to the public on the last Sunday of each month from 10am to 3pm from February to November in addition to the standard Monday to Thursday 9am to 4pm opening hours. Monthly Sunday openings feature guest speakers from across the historical and crime-solving spectrums.
