Bookkeeper Radio: Identity Theft

ATO Systems (& yours) under attack

In case you missed it ATO systems are under attack. Why? The bad guys want two things: money and people’s identity and ATO systems can deliver both. Don’t think for a minute that attacks on ATO systems are a victimless crime. The ultimate victims are small business, BAS & tax Agents and people in the street like you and I.

Everyone needs to play their part to minimize the chance of fraudulent activity. Collaboration is key and as our special Guest Ben Foster (Assistant Commissioner of Digital Identity Services) says: “we are all in this together”.

This can happen to you, and you don’t want to be left wondering “I wish I had of done…”.

In this episode we speak with Ben about a wide range of identity related issues that BAS Agents and bookkeepers need to be mindful of, including:

  • Current MyGov & MyGov ID related fraud
  • OSFA security
  • Impersonation scams
  • The consequences to your business of it all going wrong
  • Important preventative steps for the sake of you and your clients

Join Kelvin and Peter for this important episode of Bookkeeper Radio as they interview Ben Foster to ensure you have done all you can to protect your business and that of your clients.

Jon Melloy from Practice Protect also joins us to share some insight into some of the non-ATO vulnerabilities being exposed in recent times together with tips to be mindful of to ensure the good cyber-health of your systems and help prevent identity fraud.
