As technology continues to advance, so too does the prevalence of scams that pose a significant threat to Australians. New statistics highlight the extent of this issue, with nearly half (47%) reporting that they have been targeted by online, email, or phone scams. Additionally, a further 49% revealed that a friend, family member, or colleague had been targeted by such scams.

Commissioned by Real Insurance, in partnership with consumer research group CoreData, The Real Insurance Digital Risk Report 2023 surveyed more than 5,000 Australians, exploring the sentiments surrounding online safety in Australia.

The report also examines the anxieties of parents regarding their family’s well-being in the digital era, the financial impact of scams, government and political concerns, and the future of AI in Australia.
