Protect Your Business: Secure Your .au Domain Before It’s Too Late!

Did you know that on the 20th of September, the new domain category .au direct domain names will become available to the general public?

If you haven’t secured your .au domain name, this represents a significant security risk to your business, as advised by the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC). This new category of domain name allows users to register shorter, more memorable online names; however, it also creates another avenue for cybercriminals to conduct fraudulent activities. Opportunistic cybercriminals could register your .au domain name in an attempt to impersonate your business.

For example, if you have currently registered yourbusiness.com.au, a cybercriminal could register yourbusiness.au or yourbusinesscom.au and use these domains to conduct fraudulent activities. This can lead to severe consequences, including loss of customer trust, financial loss, and damage to your brand reputation.

The ACSC recommends that all Australian businesses with existing domain names register their .au equivalents before 20 September 2022. If a business does not reserve their .au equivalent direct domain name by this date, that name will become available to the public on a first-come, first-served basis.
