Cybersecurity Reminder: Protecting Your Superannuation
Cogger Gurry • April 15, 2025
Recent cyberattacks targeting accounts within industry superannuation funds have highlighted just how important it is for all of us to stay vigilant about online security.
While no breaches have been reported among Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSFs), these incidents are a timely reminder that cybercriminals are becoming increasingly sophisticated—and no one is completely immune.
What you can do to protect yourself:
- Use strong, unique passwords for each of your financial accounts
- Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) wherever possible
- Regularly check your accounts for any unusual activity
- Be cautious of phishing attempts—never click on suspicious links or provide personal information via email or text
Cybersecurity is everyone’s responsibility. A few simple precautions can go a long way in protecting your personal and financial information.

If you've driven past our office recently, you may have noticed some changes underway! We're excited to share that installation of our new Brentnalls Western Victoria signage has commenced. Like many outdoor projects, the recent weather has caused a few delays, but we're looking forward to seeing the finished result once the weather improves! The rebrand represents an exciting new chapter for our firm, while maintaining the same trusted team, local knowledge and commitment to supporting our clients. We think it will be well worth the wait!
Team Fundraiser for The Shaka Project Recently, our team came together for a fundraising morning tea in support of The Shaka Project , an organisation dedicated to promoting positive mental health, wellbeing and meaningful conversations within our communities. It was wonderful to see staff get behind the cause, enjoy some great food, and contribute to an important initiative that aligns closely with our commitment to supporting wellbeing both in and outside the workplace. Thank you to everyone who donated and helped make the morning a success. For more information on The Shaka Project head to their website here
