According to Vidit Sehgal, cyber security expert and CEO of V4 IT, Australia’s leading provider of on-site IT technical support for households and businesses, most people don’t realise they’ve been hacked until the damage is done and by then, it may be too late. “We’re seeing a surge in everyday Australians and small businesses being targeted through phishing, malware and unauthorised access to personal devices,” Sehgal said.  “Your computer doesn’t always flash a red warning when it’s been…

As cosy as our living rooms look, they often seriously underperform when it comes to insulation. The real questions are:…
