In the current digital landscape, online privacy is more crucial than ever. Intrusive tracking and data leakage have never made a reliable VPN more critical. Finding a cost-effective solution that protects your data without sacrificing functionality could be complex. Many low-cost VPNs take quick cuts, which leads to laggy connections or insufficient security, making them unfit for everyday use. The secret is to strike a balance between price, security, and performance while ensuring the VPN you select offers complete protection. When choosing an affordable VPN, essential factors include security features, performance, and user recommendations.

GUEST OPINION: The velocity of data breaches and cyber threats is increasing. According to a recent report by Surfshark, 1.8 million user accounts were compromised in Australia in the first quarter of 2024 (Q1 2024) – representing a staggering 388% increase compared to the final quarter of 2023, placing Australia as the world’s 15th most compromised nation, with approximately 140 million accounts impacted since 2004. This does not include the critical breaches at MediSecure, Ticketmaster and Ticketek, who have had hundreds of millions of customers’ personal data stolen, in recent weeks.

Protecting yourself online while gaining access to the best content and deals has never been easier, safer, or more cost-effective than with Surfshark.

Research by security vendor Surfshark finds that 801,000 people fell victim to cybercrime worldwide during 2022, including 2,500 Australians making us the fourth in the world by cybercrime density - 106 out of every million Internet users in Australia.

Australia now has the highest data breach density in the world, with breaches spiking by 489% this quarter (and it's not over yet). Globally, data breaches have decreased by 70.8% while Australian breaches have surged by 1,550%. In fact, Australia's data breach density is 24 times higher than the global average.

A recently released study using aggregated data from Surfshark Antivirus shows that every 50th scan finds at least one threat.

Globally, during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of accounts specified in data requests for government surveillance increased from 0.9 million to 1.3 million - with Australia ranked eighth in government surveillance, according to the latest study by cybersecurity company Surfshark.

Australia is ranked fourth in a global list of countries with the most cybercrime, with 102 victims per one millon internet users - roughly eight times less than the United States.

The top ten most secured countries are in Europe, a Surfshark in-depth analysis finds, and identified that countries based in Southern Asia, Western Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Central America are “least prepared to secure their citizens’ lives.” It also highlighted the countries which do not have data protection laws and explained its consequences.
