October is Cyber Security Awareness Month, offering a strong reminder for all of us to stay secure online and to practice good cyber hygiene habits.

Cybercriminals are getting more sophisticated by the minute, which is why it's more important than ever to be proactive towards staying safe online.

The Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) has launched a tool to take you through a series of scenarios to help assess if you've been hacked and how to respond.

You can access the ‘Have you been hacked?' tool here.

The scenarios covered include ransomware attacks, malware, email compromise and identify theft, as well as phishing and fake website scams accessed via SMS and mobile devices.

Take steps to protect yourself and your loved ones today.
