Customer Security

At Internode, we believe in providing the best possible Internet experience - without fear of personal or property damage. Learn how to reduce your risk online.

Unfortunately, there are those in society who prey upon unwary Internet users. They may sell false products, or convince users to part with personal or financial information.

Like crossing a busy road, the Internet is not a risk-free experience. We want to help make it as painless and safe as possible through customer education. We hope that these pages will help you manage the risks associated with Internet usage.

This is not a comprehensive guide to computer security. Our aim is to help you become more aware of Internet security issues, and keep you - and your family - safe and secure.
