This week is Stay Smart Online Week, which is all about raising awareness of the massive damage that cyber-crime can do to you and your business.

The Council of Small Business Organisations of Australia (COSBOA) have stated that 20% of small businesses experienced a cyber-attack in 2016, and predict that 40% of small businesses’ will be attacked in 2017.
