Why Small Businesses Are the #1 Target in Australia Right Now

Why Small Businesses Are the #1 Target in Australia Right Now

Small businesses across Australia, especially on the Mid North Coast, have become the main target for online criminals in 2026. The latest figures from the Australian Cyber Security Centre show they make up 43% of all reported attacks. Hackers go after them because they often have basic protection, valuable customer data, and no full-time IT team to watch things round the clock. One breach can cost an average of $56,600 and even shut a local business down.
