The Australian government has handed down its “2020 Cyber Security Strategy.” [PDF]
https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/cyber-security-subsite/files/cyber-security-strategy-2020.pdf For eg: “Tips to secure your Internet of Things device” The Australian community can take action to make informed purchasing decisions. Consumers should ask the following questions when purchasing internet-connected devices to reduce the risk of purchasing an insecure device. Before purchasing an Internet of Things device — Is the device made by a well-known reputable company and sold by a well-known reputable store? — Is it possible to change the password? — Does the manufacturer provide software updates? — What data will the device collect and who will the data be shared with? — Does the device do only what you want it to do? Setting up an Internet of Things device — Does the device need to be connected to the internet? — Is the device in a secure location? — Do I change the default username and password? — Is my Wi-Fi network set up securely, and does it have a secure password? — Are unnecessary device features turned off?
