One in three Australians have had their passwords stolen but almost as many are still using the same details across multiple accounts, according to research from Google Australia.
The tech giant revealed findings from its study on Monday, which also showed many internet users did not know how to increase their security online and Gen Z nominated themselves as the most lost.
The research comes days after the Australian Signals Directorate revealed cyber crime reports had soared by 23 per cent over the past year and the organisation was now fielding an online crime report every six minutes on average.
