When we hear of cyber scams, we initially think of the attack on the HSE in 2021, or the large-scale attacks on our institutes of higher education. These are the headline stories but the reality is that there is no one in Ireland today who has not been touched in some way by cyber scams. Whether it is a credit card scam, a hacking of a social media account or the stealing of a password, cybercrime is now unfortunately a common occurrence. These crimes can have devastating personal, professional and financial consequences for victims. The mid-term review of the national cybersecurity strategy committed to developing and publishing, on a more frequent basis, tailored advice and guidance documents on steps that can be taken by citizens to prevent and mitigate these cybercrimes. Will the Minister of State confirm if the tailored advice and guidance documents are being updated and published frequently in order to protect our citizens?
