MEDIA ALERT
CYBERCRIME BLACKMARKET AT PARLIAMENT HOUSE
On Monday, 15 November, a giant mobile cybercrime exhibit called Black Market (BLK MKT)
will be launched outside Parliament House in Canberra. This education initiative will tour
Australia, giving consumers an opportunity to experience the inner workings of cybercrime,
including the Internet “black market” - the online trading and selling of consumers’ personal
information, details, IDs and more. The goal of the exhibit is to help decrease the number of
Australian victims by exposing the different types of cybercrime and provide information
and tips on how to stay protected.
BLK MKT will be officially opened by the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the
Digital Economy, Senator Stephen Conroy. Also presenting will be the National Manager of
High Tech Crime Operations for the Australian Federal Police, Assistant Commissioner Neil
Gaughan and the Vice President and Managing Director, Pacific Region of Symantec, Craig
Scroggie.
Symantec’s internet security experts will be on hand to explain how internet “bad guys”
virtually break into people’s computers and/or online accounts to steal, sell and trade
identities - and make millions doing so.
You are invited to attend this special media preview. Interview and photo opportunities will
be available.
