Learning to be cybersmart is a hit

Neighbourhood Watch NT (NHWNT) partnered with iDCare to deliver free scam prevention and cyber safety presentations right across the Territory.

Over 70 people and many organisations and companies attended the free workshops delivered in 8 locations across the NT:

• Alice Springs
• Santa Teresa
• Tennant Creek
• Katherine
• Umbakumba
• Angurugu
• Palmerston
• Darwin.

Territorians who attended learnt to:

• identify and avoid common phone scams
• protect devices and securely save passwords
• spot spam and scams in text messages, emails, and social media posts
• discover sites and apps that can help improve overall cyber security.

NHWNT and iDCare assisted participants to understand how relationship and gambling scams work and how to setup two factor authentication. They also had some fun recording messages for iDCare to play back to a scammer!

NHWNT and iDCare are working on the program for 2025.
