Recently, someone used our CBA credit card in California. Now, I got a message from MyGov that someone has been trying to sign into my account. I just learned that you can check the account history on the site, and someone has been making multiple attempts to try different passwords with my email address. I have now upgraded my security (I wasn't using my email address anyway) to use the government run MyID. It is important to take a separate second step to turn off access via password.
I guess the scammer was hoping to claim a benefit from Centrelink? Or just get more information on me for identity theft? They can't have been wanting to pay tax for me! 😅
